Bob the Castaway

The plot of Bob the Castaway centers on the mischief of young Bob Henderson his parents fruitless attempts to change him and his later sea voyages.The protagonist of our story Bob Henderson grew up in a flourishing New England community. Bob was a student at the nearby school and served as somewhat of a mentor to the lads in a particular class. He was a bit of a crazy man and some of the things he did were hurtful and cruel to the people he made fun of. Bob moved forward with a cry as he realized there was trouble hoping to help. A strong gust of wind blew away a large chunk of one of the yards of the damaged mizzen mast that had been hanging by splinters and dropped practically at his feet. If it had hit him directly he would have died. Four castaways from the doomed Eagle had no idea where they were or where the closest piece of land was. Bob returned to his house and searched his watertight matchbox for the matches he had brought along with him. He was delighted that his wash had not damaged the tiny firesticks; he only wished he had more of them. Tim and the skipper started to row the boat in the direction of the sinking boat that Mr. Carr and Ned Scudd were traveling in. Bob joined the group but Mr. Tarbill stayed on land wringing his hands and wishing in vain that he had never traveled by water.
