(4) 4-6 Jessie Wheller and her family rescue three shipwrecked men during a storm off the Newfoundland coast. Through her new friendship with the survivors, Jessie eventually helps an abused orphan, saves a herd of ponies destined for the slaughterhouse, and reconciles with her stern grandmother. The plot is loosely structured, but warmth and sentiment hold the tale together.
