"Middy and Ensign" by George Manville Fenn is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story is set aboard HMS Startler, a British naval ship patrolling the Parang River in the Malay Peninsula, and centers around the interactions and adventures of two main characters: Bob Roberts, the young midshipman, and Ensign Tom Long. As they navigate their duties, the two engage in friendly rivalry and camaraderie amidst various challenges posed by the tropical environment and their encounters with local natives. At the start of the novel, readers are introduced to the vibrant and bustling atmosphere on the ship as it patrols the river, and the picturesque descriptions of nature captivate attention. The narrative quickly establishes the playful banter between young Bob and Tom, highlighting their contrasting personalities and backgrounds. With hints of adventure and hints of tension involving the peculiarities of the local population, such as their socioeconomic dynamics and a foreboding sense of danger, the opening sections set the stage for an exciting journey filled with camaraderie, mischief, and the challenges of colonial life in an exotic setting.
