"Lost in the Fog" by James De Mille is a story that follows a bunch of boys from Grand Pre School on a fun-filled adventure during the 1870s. They hop on the schooner Antelope for what promises to be an exciting trip home. The story centers on their friendship and youthful energy as they face unexpected problems at sea. The journey kicks off on a sunny July morning where the boys like Bruce, Bart, and Tom, get ready to sail with Captain Corbet. The captain is all for their adventure, even though the Doctor warns against it. The beginning is full of silly jokes and getting ready for the trip, highlighting the boys' bond. As they sail, the captain thinks about how much he loves adventure and how eager the boys are, which hints at a trip full of laughs and surprises. But, the story also suggests they'll run into some tough situations, teaching them about being responsible and how unpredictable nature can be.
