The opening of the magazine introduces readers to the serene island of St. John, once threatened by the British siege during the American Revolutionary War. It unfolds the story of the Gibbes family, highlighting the father, Robert, who, despite being disabled, cherishes his children and their shared joy in their picturesque home. However, the narrative shifts dramatically when the British forces invade the "Peaceful Retreat," capturing the family, and subsequently leads to a ferocious battle.
