Plot summary
Journey to the Lost Isle
- Main Article: Journey to the Lost Isle
Scrap is discovered aboard the SS Primella after Werther loses his balance while trying to carry a large stack of luggage and crashes into the barrel that Scrap was hiding in. After finding the young Gnorbu, Roxton and Lilian fetch Captain Rourke. The Captain becomes infuriated after hearing that there is a stowaway aboard his ship. He initially decides to
throw Scrap in the brig and head back to the mainland. However, after Roxton promises to take responsibility for the lad, the Captain begrudgingly agrees to let Scrap tag along on their voyage, on the condition that the boy work to earn his keep.
After the SS Primella crashes on some rocks near the coast of Monster Isle, Roxton, Lilian, Werther, and Hugo decide to go and explore the island, despite Captain Rourke's disapproval. Just as Scrap is about to leave to explore the island with them, he is snagged back by Rourke who demands that the young Gnorbu stay and help him repair the ship. Before the explorers leave, Rourke tells them that, after he fixes the ship, he won't hesitate to leave the island at the first sign of danger. This worries Lilian, but Scrap assures her that he will not let the Captain leave without her.
Some time later, Hugo and Werther return and tell Rourke about the gargantuan Petpetpets that inhabit the island. After hearing the roar of one of these monstrous creatures, Captain Rourke decides to leave the island, even though Roxton and Lilian have not yet returned. Making good on his promise, Scrap steals the ship's rudder axle and keeps it away from the Captain, preventing Rourke from leaving.
Moments later, Roxton and Lilian return; however, it turns out that they are being chased by several giant, angry Petpetpets. One of these Petpetpets trips and corners Captain Rourke. Just as the Petpetpet is about to crush Rourke with one of its pincers, Scrap rushes in and knocks Rourke out of the way, saving the Captain's life. While Roxton holds off the remaining Petpetpets, Scrap and the Captain head back to the ship and prepare to make way. Werther, Lilian, Hugo, and even Roxton are all able make it aboard the SS Primella before the Rourke sets sail.
At the end of the story, Rourke offers to let Scrap sail with him. The young Gnorbu happily accepts the offer.
