| Summary |
"Darry the Life Saver; Or, The Heroes of the Coast" by Frank V. Webster is a novel written in the early 20th century. This adventurous tale centers around Darry, a young cabin boy who survives a shipwreck in a fierce storm and finds himself at the mercy of the sea's dangers. As he navigates his complicated identity and newfound relationships, the story unfolds to reveal themes of bravery, friendship, and the desire for belonging. The opening of the book sets the stage for a gripping adventure as Darry is aboard the brigantine "Falcon" when a hurricane strikes, leaving the ship helplessly adrift. Through a desperate struggle for survival while lashed to a portion of the ship, Darry's determination is evident. Following the shipwreck, he is rescued by a life-saving crew who embolden his aspiration to become a life saver himself. The chapter introduces key characters, including Captain Harley, who has served as a guardian to Darry, and hints at future conflicts with local bullies, such as Jim Dilks. The foundation is laid for a tale of resilience and aspirations against the backdrop of coastal heroism. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
