"Frank Merriwell's Chase; Or, Exciting Times Afloat" by Burt L. Standish is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story features Frank Merriwell, a celebrated Yale athlete, who embarks on a sailing vacation aboard his yacht, the "White Wings", accompanied by friends. Their journey leads them to Belfast, Maine, where unexpected excitement unfolds, including encounters with local youths and a menacing adversary, Parker Flynn, who has a dangerous vendetta against Merriwell. The opening of the book establishes a vibrant setting as Frank and his friends admire the picturesque town of Belfast from the water.

However, the tone shifts when Frank catches a glimpse of Flynn, a figure from his troubled past, leading to a tense confrontation amongst the youth and foreshadowing the impending conflict.
