The castaways of the flag : $b the final adventures of the Swiss family Robinson

"The Castaways of the Flag: The Final Adventures of the Swiss Family Robinson" by Jules Verne is a continuation of the well-known "Swiss Family Robinson," chronicling the ongoing experiences of its characters during the early 1900s as they face the difficulties of living and building a colony on a faraway island. Fritz Zermatt, his brother Frank, and their friends are key characters who face new difficulties after being thrown overboard at sea after a revolt. The story begins with a dire setting on a ship where the captain and his loyalist sailors wrestle with starvation and the possibility of open violence against the crew. As they express their fears and try to assist the captain, the scene becomes more tense as they realize they have been abandoned by dishonest crew members. The story ends with a hint of optimism when they feel a breeze, suggesting they will be able to reach land, only to find a harsh and desolate shoreline with few resources, leaving them uncertain about their future in an unknown territory.
