Summary "Harper's Young People, June 7, 1881" by Various is a periodical aimed at children, published during the late 19th century. This lively collection features diverse stories, illustrations, and informational pieces suitable for a young audience, focusing on themes of adventure, moral lessons, and the natural world. The first story, "The Cruise of the Ghost" by W. L. Alden, sets the tone with a thrilling narrative about a group of boys embarking on a sailing adventure where they encounter pirates and navigate their fears together. At the start of this particular issue, the narrative follows Charley and his friends as they find themselves in a precarious situation aboard their yacht, the "Ghost". Hearing sounds of approaching oars in the dark mist raises their anxiety, culminating in a tense moment when they prepare to defend themselves against suspected pirates. The scene is both adventurous and comedic, highlighting themes of camaraderie, bravery, and youthful folly as the boys come together to confront danger. Their resourcefulness is showcased when, armed with improvised weaponry and a clever strategy, they repel their foes, leading to a sense of triumph and relief as they prepare to escape into the tranquility of the open bay.
