Summary "James Braithwaite, the Supercargo: The Story of His Adventures Ashore and Afloat" by W.H.G. Kingston is a historical adventure novel written in the late 19th century. The story follows James Braithwaite, a young man who embarks on a maritime journey, taking on the role of supercargo—a position responsible for overseeing cargo on a ship. As he navigates the treacherous waters of his adventures, readers can expect a mix of thrilling encounters and the challenges of maritime life against the backdrop of a lively historical context. The beginning of the novel introduces us to James Braithwaite, who is seeking to board the ship "Barbara" amidst the bustling activity of Portsmouth Harbor. He is accompanied by the old boatman Bob and his young assistant Jerry as they face the chaotic seas filled with military and merchant vessels preparing for action. As Braithwaite tries to find his ship, the narrative captures the vivid atmosphere of the harbor, described with detail as various ships are fitted for war. After some difficulty, Braithwaite reunites with his schoolmate Jack Newall, who offers him shelter for the night, setting the stage for the adventures that lie ahead. This opening not only establishes the protagonist's character and his mission but also hints at the dangers and challenges that will arise in the course of his journey.
