It follows Oliver Raymond, a plucky American teenager bound for Manila who is shipwrecked in a typhoon and plunged into dangers among hostile islanders and warring forces as he struggles to reunite with friends and reach safety. Key figures include his loyal chum Dan Holbrook, the steady mate Tom Dawson, and the drunken, menacing Captain Kenny. Expect fast-paced nautical peril, jungle escapes, and the path toward Commodore Dewey’s campaign. The opening of the story follows Oliver from a business-tinged “holiday” trip toward Manila aboard the schooner Dart to a violent hurricane, a collision with a Chinese vessel, and a desperate abandonment of ship in small boats that separates him from Dan. Oliver’s boat, led by second mate Watt Brown and burdened by the treacherous Captain Kenny, survives a brutal night at sea and reaches the Luzon coast; Dawson’s boat later appears, but Dan is feared drowned. While foraging and scouting, the survivors encounter grisly signs of local warfare, a giant bat attack, and the Dart stranded up the coast—only to be confronted by Tagal tribesmen who seize the wreck and capture the castaways. A lightning-splintered storm enables Oliver and Dawson to escape through a flooded forest, elude pursuit (and a cayman), glimpse a distant battle between Spanish troops and insurgents, link up with the Chinese cook Ah Sid, and ready a small boat to run for Subig Bay—just as unseen figures approach.
