Summary "Harper's Round Table, December 17, 1895" by Various is a literary magazine written during the late 19th century. This publication features a collection of stories and articles aimed primarily at a young audience, presenting diverse narratives including adventure tales and festive themes. The contents reflect the societal interests and aesthetic of the period, providing insight into childhood experiences and moral lessons. The opening of the magazine introduces a Christmas-themed adventure titled "Christmas on Majuba Station" by Richard Barry, featuring Midshipman Bobby Seymour aboard the steam-frigate "Sumter". As the crew prepares for Christmas in the heat of the African coast, Bobby experiences homesickness, reminiscing about snowy holidays and family traditions. His poignant emotions are contrasted with the ship's dreary atmosphere, especially as the captain is ill, setting the stage for an unexpected challenge when Bobby and his crew venture to investigate a mysterious object in the sea. This narrative promises elements of adventure, discovery, and the warmth of holiday spirit amid the backdrop of military service. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
