"Captain Chap; or, The Rolling Stones" by Frank R. Stockton is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story follows three boys—Philip Berkeley, Chapman Webster (Chap), and Phineas Poole (Phœnix)—who set off on an exciting adventure involving a tug-boat voyage and subsequent escapades. Their youthful enthusiasm and ambition take them into unexpected situations, highlighting themes of friendship and adventure. At the start of the novel, the boys find themselves in an extended summer vacation while their school is closed due to their teacher's illness. They quickly seize the opportunity for a thrilling trip on a tug-boat, which leads to a series of incidents including a mishap at sea that forces them onto a rescue steamer. As their journey unfolds, they meet interesting characters, encounter wildlife, and tackle challenges that test their resourcefulness. The opening sets a whimsical yet adventurous tone as Captain Chap emerges as a natural leader eager to guide his friends through their escapades. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
