Summary "The Congo Rovers: A Story of the Slave Squadron" by Harry Collingwood is a novel likely written in the late 19th century. This adventure tale revolves around a young boy, Richard Hawkesley, who is thrilled to receive a letter from Captain Vernon offering him a position as a midshipman aboard the sloop-of-war "Daphne", which is set to sail to Africa. The story delves into themes of ambition and personal desire against the backdrop of naval life, particularly focusing on the challenges and aspirations of young sailors during a tumultuous period in history. The opening of the novel introduces Richard as he learns about his acceptance into naval service, highlighting the mixed emotions he experiences regarding his ambitions and his father’s expectations. After gaining his father's consent, Richard excitedly prepares for his adventure while reflecting on his deep passion for the sea and naval life, which contrasts sharply with his father's more cautious stance. The narrative sets the stage for Richard's journey, emphasizing his enthusiasm and the portentous challenges ahead as he embarks on a mission filled with potential danger and discovery.
