Summary "What Happened at Quasi: The Story of a Carolina Cruise" by George Cary Eggleston is a novel written in the early 20th century. This adventure tale centers around a group of boys, particularly focusing on the characters Dick Wentworth, the Rutledge twins, and Tom Garnett, as they embark on a summer cruise along the Carolina coast in search of sport and adventure. Their journey leads them into the wilderness, where themes of friendship, bravery, and the spirit of exploration are prominent. At the start of the story, the boys are introduced in the oppressive heat of Charleston, where they plan to launch their newly acquired boat, the "Hunkydory," for a summer of fun. The preliminary chapters depict their camaraderie, discussions about sailing, and preparations for their voyage. They learn about the intricacies of sailing a dory, share playful banter, and express enthusiasm about the adventures awaiting them, including hunting and fishing along the coast. There is also a sense of mystery surrounding an old plantation called Quasi, which they hope to visit, hinting at deeper explorations related to family history and potential danger. The opening sets a lively tone for the adventure while introducing readers to the boys' personalities and dynamic relationships. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
