Produced by Nick Hodson of London, England "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.
