Description: Young Alec Ramsay is shipwrecked on a desert island with a horse destined to play an important part in his life. Following their rescue their adventure continues in America.

The ship is sinking! Alec fights his way towards the stern of the ship where the wild black stallion is rearing in terror. Trembling, the boy heaves open the stall door to free the trapped animal. With a savage scream, the horse plunges over the rail, and drags Alec with him into the raging sea!

Pulled to a desert island by a wild black stallion he has freed during a shipwreck at sea, then rescued by a southbound freighter, a seventeen-year-old boy befriends the horse, trains him by night, and rides him to victory in a match race.
