Captains Courageous is a novel, by Rudyard Kipling, that follows the adventures of fifteen-year-old Harvey Cheyne Jr., the spoiled son of a railroad tycoon, after he is saved from drowning by a fishing boat in the north Atlantic. Harvey Cheyne is the son of a wealthy railroad magnate and his wife, who are over-indulgent parents in San Diego, California. Washed overboard from a transatlantic steamship and rescued by fishermen off the Grand Banks of Newfoundland, the young Harvey Cheyne can neither persuade them to take him quickly to port, nor convince them of his wealth. Disko Troop, captain of the We're Here, offers him a job as part of the crew until they return to port. With no other choice, Harvey accepts. Through a series of trials and adventures, the youth learns to adjust to his rough new life and, with the help of his friend, the captain's son Dan Troop, he makes progress. Eventually, the schooner returns to port and Harvey wires his parents. They rush cross-country by their private rail car, given priority over commercial traffic, to Boston, Massachusetts. From there they go to the fishing town of Gloucester to find that their son has matured to become an industrious, serious and considerate young man. Harvey's mother rewards the seaman who initially rescued her son. Harvey's father rewards Captain Troop by hiring his son Dan to work on his prestigious tea clipper fleet. He is delighted at his son's new maturity and their relationship improves, and Harvey decides to begin his career with his father's shipping lines. [mehr]

The weather door of the smoking-room had been left open to the North Atlantic fog, as the big liner rolled and lifted, whistling to warn the fishing-fleet. "That Cheyne boy's the biggest nuisance aboard," said a man in a frieze overcoat, shutting the door with a bang. "He isn't wanted here. He's too fresh." A white-haired German reached for a sandwich, and grunted between bites: "I know der breed. Ameriga is full of dot kind. I dell you you should imbort ropes' ends free under your dariff." [mehr]

PROLOGUE: At least five million people have been killed so far by Rwandese Soldiers. In 1999, my family and I were running away when my homeland was overrun by them. I was five years old at the time of the war. I felt insignificant when all my friends I loved died over a period of days. I felt upset and angry. Also, I thought I might be left behind by family, because we were hiding in tall grass at night, and gunshots were sounding everywhere. It was chaotic with screams echoing through the air. We climbed into a truck full of people on that dark night and rode to an unknown village. From there I got saparated from my mother after she asked a friend to take me. Her friend took me inside a house where I was secured with many people with their families. Mother wanted me to eat, and wait for her. Mother went with my father, my uncle, my aunt, and my cousins to find a place to shelter for a few days. Eventually, my mother came back looking for me in the vast crowds, asking them if they had seen a five-year-old child. She was lucky to find her friend who told her I was indoors. Hours later, I united with my mother, who was glad to see me alive and safe. The war changed my family because we thought we would die. [mehr]
