520 _a"The Boy Chums Cruising in Florida Waters" by Wilmer M. Ely is a novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story follows a group of young boys, who are friends and eager adventurers, as they settle into their new life fishing in Florida waters. The main characters consist of Charley, Walter, Captain Westfield, and their companion Chris, who is a little black boy eager to join the fishing expedition but faces racial prejudice. At the start of the narrative, the boys seek employment with a fish dealer, Mr. Daniels, after losing their previous job at sea due to crew troubles. Determined to work as fishermen, they face the challenge of adapting to this new career. As the plot unfolds, they navigate the dangers of their environment, which includes rough fishermen gangs opposed to the presence of a black boy in their ranks. The opening chapters highlight their determination, resourcefulness, and camaraderie, setting the stage for an adventure filled with challenges and mysteries in their new coastal home.
