Summary "Across India; Or, Live Boys in the Far East" by Oliver Optic is a historical narrative and adventure tale written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around a group of young heroes, including the millionaire Louis Belgrave and his friend Felix McGavonty, as they embark on a voyage aboard the steam-yacht Guardian-Mother. The book highlights their explorations and experiences in India, rich with cultural encounters and adventures as they tackle various challenges. At the start of the narrative, the crew of the Guardian-Mother prepares for their journey by discussing nautical terms and measurements, which sets a tone of education and camaraderie among the young characters. The narrative quickly shifts to a dramatic turn when a sudden storm strikes, leading to a wreck in the Arabian Sea. The captain and crew, including young Louis and Felix, demonstrate bravery and quick thinking as they attempt a daring rescue of individuals clinging to a capsizing vessel. This thrilling beginning establishes a foundation for themes of friendship, courage, and the excitement of travel, suggesting that readers can expect both action and enlightenment throughout the tale.
