Captains Courageous

Captains Courageous tells of the adventures of fifteen-year-old Harvey Cheyne Jr., the spoiled son of a railroad tycoon, after he is saved from drowning by a Portuguese fisherman in the North Atlantic. He must work as a ship's boy for a fishing season after being washed overboard from an ocean liner.

First sentence: The weather door of the smoking-room had been left open to the North Atlantic fog, as the big liner rolled and lifted, whistling to warn the fishing-fleet.
