(2) 4-6 Illustrated by John Hendrix. "An exhausted sailing ship" limps into port; its arrival signals the start of an adventure for those on board, including twelve-year-old cabin boy Shipwreck. Onshore the crew (mostly loyal) faces a long-held grudge, a self-assured female bandit, and a little war between Mexico and the United States. This romp over the California countryside involves plenty of surefire escapades and cliffhanger chapter endings.
