Abstract
An adventure story written by Elmer Nelson that was inspired by works like Swiss Family Robinson (1812) and Robinson Crusoe (1719). In the story, the characters Jimmy and Alice go sailing and spot an island. They decide to explore the island and encounter sharks and monkeys as they go about securing food and shelter. Arthur Nelson wrote a second volume that continues this story, which is labeled on the cover as volume 2. Although there is no volume number on this story by Elmer Nelson, it has been inferred that it is volume 1.
