| Summary | "The Wind-Jammers" by T. Jenkins Hains is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story appears to center around the life of sailors navigating the treacherous waters around Cape Horn, showcasing their adventures, the conflicts, and the tough conditions they face at sea. The narrative features characters involved in shipbuilding, naval battles, and the rough camaraderie of life aboard a ship. The opening portion of the novel begins with the narrator, a young boy, reflecting on his experiences working in a shipyard and his family's involvement in maritime affairs during a time of war. The focus shifts to the launch of a new frigate named 'Randolph', and the narrative unfolds around the young protagonist's desire to join the crew. We are introduced to various characters, including his father and the figure of Mr. Robinson, who becomes a significant person in the boy's life, particularly as the tensions of war and the responsibilities of naval life begin to take shape. The story promises themes of bravery, adventure, and betrayal, setting the stage for further high-seas drama. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
