N2  - Miser Ebenezer Balfour attempts to cheat his nephew David from the boy's rightful inheritance by having unscrupulous ship captain Elias Hoseason kidnap the lad for the purpose of selling him as a slave in the Carolinas. David manages to escape from the ship where he had been incarcerated, along with Alan Breck, a gentleman outlaw who had boarded the ship when it hit the small boat in which he had been journeying. David was fleeing from slavery, Breck from being the victim of robbery and murder. After a series of adventures in the Scottish Highlands, the two, having fought and made up, return to England where they restore David's estate to him, and Breck leaves to take up the cause of his exiled Stuart king
