The opening portion of the narrative introduces readers to the environment of the "Monongahela", where the dangerous mock hazing culture is prevalent among the older cadets. Clif learns that his younger classmate, Nanny Gote, is being targeted for hazing by the more senior cadets. Rather than standing by, Clif prepares to intervene and protect Nanny, showcasing his willingness to stand up against bullying and defend his friends. The scene sets a tone of adventure and camaraderie among the plebes, hinting at the conflicts and camaraderie that will be explored throughout their training and experiences at sea.
