When out to sea a few days, he is discovered, and is about to be disciplined when the captain's daughter May intercedes. A terrific storm strikes, and the ship is dashed to pieces. The captain, with Jack's help, builds a little raft, and with May they set out for an island which they can hardly discern, as it is so many miles away. After drifting for many hours, they at last reach the island, which is inhabited by a savage tribe. The captain, making his way over a rock-bound coast, misses his footing and is dashed to pieces. Now left alone together, Jack and May build a crude shelter and start a fire for cooking purposes, and the smoke attracts the attention of the savage inhabitants of the island. Jack, seizing his rifle, manages to shoot the foremost one. The report of Jack's rifle is heard by an officer of an American man-of-war, who happens to be on the island, and he and his men rescue the children and send them on their homeward journey.
