| Summary |
"Canoe Mates in Canada; Or, Three Boys Afloat on the Saskatchewan" by St. George Rathborne is a fictional adventure novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story follows young Owen Dugdale, a Canadian boy who has a harrowing experience navigating rapids on the Saskatchewan River. Through his journey, he encounters both danger and unexpected companionship. At the start of the narrative, Owen, a capable canoer, finds himself battling treacherous rapids during a storm, showcasing his experience and determination. After capsizing, he is relieved to discover that he is aided by two strangers, Cuthbert Reynolds and Eli Perkins, who warmly welcome him into their camp. They share a camaraderie and a desire for exploration, despite Owen's troubled past linked to a stern Hudson Bay Company factor, Alexander Gregory. Intrigued by Owen's wilderness skills, Cuthbert invites him to join their adventure, setting the stage for further escapades in the enchanting but perilous Canadian wilderness.
