Summary: "Under the Meteor Flag: Log of a Midshipman during the French Revolutionary War" by Harry Collingwood is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The story follows Ralph Chester, a young midshipman, as he embarks on naval adventures during the tumultuous times of the French Revolutionary War. The narrative features thrilling elements like shipwrecks, naval battles, and the challenges faced by Ralph and his compatriots at sea. The opening of the narrative introduces readers to the protagonist Ralph Chester, who reflects on his familial background and burgeoning desire to join the navy, much to his father's dismay. Ralph's journey begins aboard the gun-brig "Scourge" during her hasty departure from Spithead. As he acclimates to life at sea, Ralph faces practical jokes from fellow midshipmen and quickly learns the harsh realities of naval warfare, including a perilous man-overboard scenario where he courageously rescues a drowning crewman. The narrative sets a fast-paced tone filled with action and camaraderie, positioning Ralph for further exploits as he adjusts to the rigors of naval life amidst the backdrop of war.
