Description

 Samuel, the keeper of this diary, is 13 when he signs on as a cabin boy aboard a vessel bound for Sydney. The barque Dundonald founders and sinks off Disappointment Island (part of the Auckland Islands group) in the ocean south of New Zealand on 6 March 1907. Fifteen survivors endure a harsh winter on this remote island until their rescue in late November that year. Samuel Clark is a fictional character, however the other survivors are all based on the real people. Previously published as Castaway : The Diary of Samuel Abraham Clark (My Story series).

Author Biography:

A former police fingerprint expert, Bill O'Brien was one of the police involved in the Aramoana shooting. Dismayed at the way the event was reported, he wrote his first book, Aramoana - 22 Hours of Terror. Since then he has written several other adult non-fiction books, as well as two titles in Lothian's Crime Wave series and now regards writing for children as his main career.
