Summary "Saved at Sea: A Lighthouse Story" by Mrs. O. F. Walton is a children's novel written in the late 19th century, likely during the Victorian era. The narrative revolves around the life of young Alick Fergusson, who lives with his grandfather in a lighthouse on a remote island. The story engages with themes of courage, compassion, and the profound impacts of loss while exploring the adventure of saving lives at sea and the emotional journey of finding a lost child. The storyline begins with Alick's unusual upbringing in the lighthouse, where he and his grandfather face the dangers of a powerful storm. The plot escalates when they attempt to rescue sailors stranded on a wrecked ship, leading to the discovery of a lone survivor—a little girl named Timpey. As the tale unfolds, Alick bonds with Timpey, who symbolizes hope and innocence amidst tragedy. However, as Timpey’s true identity is revealed, she faces the impending loss of her newfound family. The emotional climax revolves around the eventual reunion of Timpey with her biological parents, forcing Alick and his grandfather to confront both love and separation, ultimately leading to personal growth and an invitation for Alick to explore the world beyond their isolated life, all while emphasizing the importance of building one's life upon strong moral foundations.
