1896
A novel written in the late 19th century. The story is likely to revolve around maritime adventures, featuring a young boy named Barclay Stuart, who embarks on a journey into the mysterious world of the sea. With a blend of realism and imagination, the narrative may explore themes of bravery, friendship, and the allure of adventure against a backdrop of the enigmatic Sargasso Sea. At the start of the narrative, we meet Barclay Stuart, a spirited 14-year-old boy who enjoys fishing along the perilous cliffs by his village. After a day of catching fish, he encounters an abandoned windmill rumored to be haunted and discovers a peculiar old man, whom he initially mistakes for a ghost. This man, later identified as Captain Antonio, befriends Barclay and reveals plans to turn the windmill into his home. He entices Barclay with promises of adventures at sea, leading to an exciting new chapter in Barclay's life as he yearns to become a sailor, exploring both the Sargasso Sea and his dreams.
