| 520 | _a"The House Boat Boys; Or, Drifting Down to the Sunny South" by St. George Rathborne is a novel likely written during the late 19th century. The story follows two close friends, Maurice Pemberton and Thad Tucker, who embark on an adventurous journey down the Ohio River with dreams of reaching New Orleans. Facing challenges from their home situations and encouraged by a letter from Maurice's uncle, they decide to float south on a makeshift shanty-boat, promising excitement and camaraderie as they navigate the unpredictable waters. The opening of the novel introduces the characters and sets the stage for their journey. After Maurice learns that he will soon be homeless, Thad encourages him to join him on an adventurous trip down the river, spurred by Maurice's uncle’s invitation to join him on a tramp steamer in New Orleans. The boys excitedly prepare for their voyage as they hope to enjoy nature and the thrill of exploration together. However, they quickly encounter the reality of their undertaking when they find themselves struggling against the challenges of navigation and weather, unveiling a mix of friendship, resourcefulness, and youthful enthusiasm that marks the beginning of their adventure.
