Rand is a fictional work written in the late 19th century. The story explores the lives of characters associated with a life-saving station on the coast, highlighting their interactions, challenges, and the heroic nature of their work amidst a harsh winter. Central to this narrative is Walter Plympton, a sixteen-year-old boy who becomes involved with the life-saving service and the men who dedicate themselves to rescuing those in peril at sea. The opening of the book introduces several key characters and sets the stage for the central themes of courage and community. It begins with a dramatic scene where a man is stuck on a church steeple without a ladder, prompting his grandson, Cyrus, to seek help from his grandfather, Zebulon Smith, who is a boat-builder. The narrative quickly shifts to Walter Plympton, who is portrayed as a curious and ambitious youth with a vivid imagination and a desire to learn about the life-saving station. As the story unfolds, the reader is immersed in the everyday lives of those at the station, setting the tone for a tale filled with adventure, moral responsibility, and the spirit of self-sacrifice against the backdrop of the sea.
