| Summary | "Younger Tom Bowling" by J.C. Hutcheson is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around the life of a young boy named Tom Bowling, who aspires to become a sailor in the British Navy. The narrative captures his experiences as he navigates the challenges of training and life at sea during a time when naval training for boys was an emerging practice. The opening of the novel introduces Tom's relationship with his father as they row towards the naval ship, Saint Vincent. Tom is eager to join the Navy, and his father, a retired sailor, has concerns about this choice. Their playful banter transitions into a serious discussion about Tom's aspirations, highlighting his determination to pursue a life at sea. The dynamics of familial relationships begin to unfold, setting the stage for Tom's journey and the various characters he will encounter, including fellow recruits, as he embarks on his adventure in naval training.
