About this listen

Harvey Cheyne falls overboard from a steamship and is rescued by a fisherman in the Newfoundland area. Harvey is the son of a wealthy railroad magnate and offers money to the captain whom rescued him, but the captain does not believe he is who he says. Harvey learns about fishing from the captain's son and begins to appreciate his new lifestyle while getting along with the crew he becomes part of. After the fishing schooner returns to port, Harvey contacts his parents, who fly to Massachusetts and reward the captain for caring for their son. The captain is given a position in the father's new tea clipper fleet and Harvey begins working for his dad's shipping business.
