| Summary | "The Fourth Watch" by H. A. Cody is a novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story centers around a young boy named Dan Flitter, who lives a rugged life in the wilderness with his father, Jim. The narrative hints at themes of bravery, coming-of-age, and the contrast between simple rural life and the complexities of emerging societal norms. At the start of the novel, we see Dan deeply engaged in his mundane chores when his adventurous spirit is suddenly ignited by the sight of a capsized boat carrying a distressed man and woman. Without hesitation, he leaps into action to rescue them, showcasing his innate heroism and resourcefulness. This incident becomes a pivotal moment in Dan's life, as it leads to newfound recognition and stirs complex emotions within him, especially as he grapples with feelings of inferiority and admiration for the woman he saves. The opening chapters lay the groundwork for Dan's character development and set the stage for his interactions with other key characters, including his father, the parson, and potentially adversarial figures within the community.
