Jeremiah Day certification of Samuel Patridge's dismissal from Yale College, 1825 February Set a [sic] drift This unattributed story by one of the Nelson brothers tells of two adventurers caught in a shipwreck. The two main characters, Frank and James, survive a shipwreck and make their way to an island. The island has some tropical features including parrots, jaguars, coconuts and pineapples. Once on the island the pair face challenging environments, dangerous animals and rough conditions. The story details the day-to-day struggles of Frank and James as they trap food, find shelter and make use of found resources. The boys face dangers from the local animals as they encounter bears, jaguars and a shark. The story ends very abruptly and is followed by 15 blank pages, suggesting it was left unfinished. "Set Adrift" features several color illustrations.
