Saved by the Lifeboat - R. M. Ballantyne

A fierce November storm is raging, and before long a ship finds itself in difficulty just offshore. Captain Boyns and his son Harry hurry to help rescue the stricken crew and take in a young girl, Annie, who had been aboard and nearly drowned. Annie and Harry strike up a close friendship, but her father John Webster, is a mean, tight-fisted merchant who intends to come between the couple. In his daughter he sees no value except as a bride, and so he deviously plots to keep the pair apart.
