A historical novel written in the late 19th century. The story centers on young characters, particularly midshipman Dick, who find themselves embroiled in an adventurous quest for gold in California during the Gold Rush era. The narrative intertwines themes of bravery, survival, and camaraderie as the protagonists navigate challenges posed not just by nature and difficult terrain, but also by hostilities from indigenous tribes. The opening of the novel introduces the setting—San Diego harbor in 1856—where tension is quickly established aboard the bark's uncomfortable ship. Midshipmen Dick and Tom express their dissatisfaction about their captain and look forward to future adventures. Soon after landing, Dick encounters a dangerous situation involving a group of Mexicans attacking an Englishman, which leads to a violent skirmish. This ignites a sequence of events that will propel Dick and his friend into a quest for gold alongside miners. As they embark on this journey, the boys must overcome various adversities, setting the stage for an engaging tale filled with danger and discovery.
