Cast Upon The Breakers is a novel written by Horatio Alger Jr. that was first published in 1893. The story follows the life of a young man named Maurice Blake who is born into a wealthy family. Despite his privileged upbringing, Maurice is not content with his life and longs for adventure and excitement.When Maurice's father dies, he is left with a large inheritance and decides to use his newfound wealth to travel the world. However, his journey takes a turn for the worse when his ship is wrecked during a storm and he is cast upon the breakers.Maurice survives the shipwreck but finds himself stranded on a deserted island. He must use all of his wits and resourcefulness to survive in this harsh environment. Along the way, he meets a cast of interesting characters, including a shipwrecked sailor and a group of cannibals.As Maurice struggles to survive and find a way back to civilization, he learns important lessons about courage, perseverance, and the true meaning of wealth. Cast Upon The Breakers is a thrilling adventure story that is sure to captivate readers of all ages.A wonderful change came over Mike Flynn. Until he met Rodney he seemed quite destitute of ambition. The ragged and dirty suit which he wore as bootblack were the best he had. His face and hands generally bore the marks of his business, and as long as he made enough to buy three meals a day, two taken at the Lodging House, with something over for lodging, and an occasional visit to a cheap theater, he was satisfied.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
