Summary "On Board the Esmeralda; or, Martin Leigh's Log" by John Conroy Hutcheson is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around Martin Leigh, a young boy who endures a troubled childhood after losing both parents and then suffering under his cruel aunt and cousins. The narrative follows his hardships at home and school, leading him to the sea, where he embarks on a series of adventures full of excitement and challenges. The opening of the novel introduces Martin's early life, highlighting the difficulties he faces after becoming an orphan. He lives with his unkind relatives, experiences torment at a boarding school, and eventually runs away with a friend, Tom. The struggles and mistreatment he endures are vividly depicted, setting the stage for his eventual escape to the sea.
