1877
A novel written in the late 19th century. This gripping maritime tale explores themes of mutiny, survival, and moral conflict aboard a ship that is plunged into chaos. The story centers around Mr. Royle, who is caught in a struggle for control and survival among a crew that has mutinied, facing the dangers of both the sea and the treacherous intentions of his fellow shipmates. The opening of the novel introduces us to a tense atmosphere aboard the Grosvenor following a mutiny led by the ship's carpenter and other crew members. Mr. Royle navigates the challenges posed by the unruly men while trying to protect the lives of fellow passengers, particularly the injured Mr. Robertson and his daughter, Mary. As he grapples with his precarious position, Royle discovers conspiracies and plans for further treachery among the crew, leading him to contemplate strategies for escape while maintaining the delicate balance of control needed to survive. The dynamic between Royle, the mutinous crew, and the quietly resilient Mary sets the stage for a gripping tale of danger and intrigue as they seek safety amidst mounting peril.
