"Sir Mortimer: A Novel" by Mary Johnston is a historical adventure novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around Sir Mortimer Ferne, a young and charismatic captain preparing for an expedition to the Spanish Main, filled with themes of honor, adventure, and the complexities of ambition amid the backdrop of Elizabethan England. The opening of the novel introduces us to Sir Mortimer as he raises a toast in a lively tavern, surrounded by fellow adventurers, discussing their upcoming voyage. He demonstrates his strong resolve and passionate spirit, proclaiming the nobility of their perilous endeavors. As they share tales of bravery and treasures to be won, a duel is abruptly triggered by a slur against Mortimer's honor, setting the stage for tensions that may unfold later in the narrative. The interactions among captains, particularly with the proud and arrogant Captain Baldry, illustrate the fierce rivalry and camaraderie typical of the era's explorers. Throughout this engaging beginning, there is an anticipation of the adventures that await these men at sea, balanced by personal conflicts and relationships that will likely shape their fates.
