Chapter 1: Sir Silas Disapproves - “Lads,” exclaimed Scoutmaster Leslie Trematon, “I am sorry to announce a disappointment, but I trust you will receive the news like a true Scouts and keep smiling.”
The Scoutmaster paused to note the effect of his words. Practically every boy of the “Otter” and “Wolf” patrols knew what was coming, but one and all gave no sign of disgust at the shattering of their hopes. Two or three pursed their lips tightly, others set their jaws grimly, while a few looked at their comrades as if to gauge the state of their feelings on the matter.

Atherton is now the fourth officer of the Empire Line - a steamship company largely under Sir Silas Gwinnear’s control. Fred Simpson is likewise in the merchant service, thanks to the Cornish baronet’s patronage. Phiilips, Neale and Fraser have accepted good appointments in Canada, in connection with the wealthy firm Gwinnear Ltd.; while every other original member of the “Otters’” and Wolves’” patrols has to thank Sir Silas for a good start in life.
At all important Headquarter functions, Sir Silas will generally be found. He is never tired of expressing his high appreciation of the movement, and seems to take delight in relating the circumstances under which his opinion changed, and how he had reason to be proud of certain members of his firm - the former Scouts of Seal Island.
