The book begins: Early in the spring of the year 1884 the three-masted schooner Castor, from San Francisco to Valparaiso, was stuck by a tornado off the coast of Peru. The Storm, which rose with frightful suddenness, was of short duration, but it left the Castor a helpless wreck. Her masts had snapped off and gone overboard, her rudder-post had been shattered by falling wreckage, and she was rolling in the trough of the sea, with her floating masts and spars thumping and bumping her sides.
