"In the Eastern Seas" by W.H.G. Kingston is a novel written in the mid-19th century. The story revolves around the adventures of siblings Walter and Emily Heathfield, who endure a dramatic beginning when they are rescued from a sinking ship along with their dying father. Following their father's death, the children find themselves in the care of Captain Davenport and his family, who invite them to join the captain on his next voyage to the eastern seas, where they experience a series of thrilling escapades. At the start of the novel, we witness the ship's crew, led by Captain Davenport, as they navigate through a stormy Atlantic towards home. During this time, they spot a dismasted ship and soon discover Walter and Emily, along with their gravely ill father, aboard. After their rescue, the children grapple with their new reality as orphans, reflecting on their father's last words. As they settle into life aboard the captain's ship, they prepare for the voyage that holds new adventures and challenges, including the presence of a mysterious naturalist and the perils of the sea. The opening portion establishes both the emotional stakes for the young orphans and the exciting maritime environment Kingston is known for, setting the stage for their journey ahead.
