The story begins with the arrival of the British corvette Unicorn, commanded by Lieutenant Littlestone, on an island inhabited by the Wolston family. After leaving the Zermatt brothers and Jenny Montrose on the island, the ship sets sail again. The Zermatt brothers, Fritz and Frank, and Jenny embark on a journey to England, hoping to find Jenny's father and pursue their individual goals. Dolly Wolston, the younger daughter of the Wolston family, is sent to Cape Town to join her brother, James, a married man with a child.
