The Cay

SHIPWRECKED!

All his life Phillip had looked down upon black-skinned people. Now, suddenly, he was a refugee from a fatal shipwreck, and dependent on an extraordinary West Indian named Timothy. There were just the two of them cast up on the barren little Caribbean Island...three if you counted Stew Cat...and a crack on the head had left Phillip blind.

An exciting, moving adventure story, THE CAY tells of their struggle for survival...and of Phillip's efforts to adjust to his blindness, and to understand the dignified, wise, and loving man who was his companion.
