Clare, the hero of the story, is a boy whose mother is killed at his side
by the fall of a church during an earthquake. The kindly clergyman and his
wife, who adopt him, die while he is still very young, and he is thrown
upon the world a second time. The narrative of his wanderings is full of
interest and novelty, the boy’s unswerving honesty and his passion for
children and animals leading him into all sorts of adventures. He works on
a farm, supports a baby in an old deserted house, finds employment in a
menagerie, becomes a bank clerk, is kidnapped, and ultimately discovers
his father on board the ship to which he has been conveyed.
