Two days later, the sailors of Bogatyr rescue a young Black boy from the wreckage of an American ship destroyed in a storm. Terrified and beaten by the slave traders, the boy finds kindness and compassion in the Russian sailors. Soon, the boy, nicknamed Maksimka by the crew, becomes a favorite of the entire team. Among them, sailor Luchkin forms a particularly strong bond with Maksimka.
