Finally, there is a construction, hardly more than a large barrel, containing Snowball, an African ship's cook of the Coromantee tribe, together with a little girl of eight or ten. Luckily these get together with Ben Brace and the boy William, and it is their adventures that the story is mainly about. The author is a natural historian, and he tells us lots of interesting things about the fish and other denizens of the deep.

Naturally the whole thing comes right in the end, with the wicked perishing, and the good being picked up by a whale ship. The "vulture of the sea," borne upon broad wing, and wandering over the wide Atlantic, suddenly suspends his flight to look down upon an object that has attracted his attention.

It is a raft, with a disc not much larger than a dining table, constructed out of two small spars of a ship, the dolphin striker and spritsail yard, with two broad planks and some narrower ones lashed crosswise, and over all two or three pieces of sail cloth carelessly spread. Slight as is the structure, it is occupied by two individuals, a man and a boy.

The latter is lying along the folds of the sail cloth, apparently asleep. The man stands erect, with his hand to his forehead, shading the sun from his eyes, and scanning the surface of the sea with inquiring glances. At his feet, lying among the creases of the canvas, are a handspike, a pair of boat oars, and an axe.

Nothing more is perceptible of the raft, even to the keen eye of the albatross. The bird continues its flight towards the west.

Ten miles farther on it once more poises itself on soaring wing, and directs its glance downward. Another raft is seen motionless upon the calm surface of the sea, but differing from the former in almost everything but the name. It is nearly ten times as large; constructed out of the masts, yards, hatches, portions of the bulwarks, and other timbers of a ship; and rendered buoyant by a number of empty water casks lashed along its edges.
