The novel’s
storyline is spun around the 1787 passage of the ship, Lady Washington, under the command of Captain Robert Gray, and his
discovery of the Tillamook Indians and their large, pristine bay. After
some friendly trading with the natives, the ship suffers a surprise

marauding natives. Captain Gray holds off the Tillamooks with musket and
cannon while getting underway. From the rocks above the bay, the two
young men watch in frightened disbelief as their ship slips out onto a
foggy sea. The two lads are now marooned in this remote, primitive land. Recently, the author
