Harvey Cheyne, Jr., second richest person in the world, orphaned and spoiled rotten, encounters a cigar and the sea on his way to England for boarding school. Seasick, over the rail for real, rescued by Dan Troop of a Gloucester fishing sailboat. Three months at sea, under a firm but fair Captain Troop (fair wages of $10.50 a month, if you don't work you don't eat). A hard life and a dangerous one, and a lot of growing up to do through hardship and tragedy.

00:20at first, but who knows, you may learn.
00:22Are you saying you expect me to scrub decks, clean pots and pans? Can't I get it through your thick
00:29head who I am?
00:31I am Harvey Chain Jr. I can buy and sell this to keep the boat ten million times over. Now
00:37take me to New York!

00:48and give him a hand.
00:54You suit yourself. Goлад me away.
