The narrative follows the crew of the Carys’ Ledge lighthouse, mainly focusing on Captain Ephraim Downs, his assistants Mr. Samuel Peters and Uncle Zenas Stubbs, and a boy named Sidney Harlow, who unexpectedly arrives in a damaged motorboat. The book likely explores themes of duty, rescue, and camaraderie among the lighthouse keepers as they navigate the responsibilities and challenges that come with their positions. The opening of the story introduces us to Carys’ Ledge lighthouse amidst a foggy morning, emphasizing the meticulous routine of the light-keepers as they complete their early morning tasks. Mr. Peters, the first assistant, notices an object in the water that turns out to be a motorboat with a young boy aboard, who has been missing for a couple of days after being separated from his father during a boating accident. The urgency of the situation is established as the crew responds to the boy's distress, bringing him ashore and providing care. Captain Eph instantly takes a protective stance towards Sidney, deciding to house him in the lighthouse while also planning to notify his father. The opening effectively sets the stage for a tale of adventure, responsibility, and the bonds formed in challenging circumstances.
