PREFACE

This is not a boys’ “book of adventure” but an imaginary chronicle based upon the setting of an actual cruise. It is believed that there are Sea Scouts who will recognize familiar surroundings and will recall the ideas which are associated with them; and it is hoped that Land Scouts will feel, on the Bright Wing, the same spirit that they associate with the inspiration of the camp fire.
