| Summary | "The Three Admirals" by W.H.G. Kingston is a historical novel written in the mid-19th century. The book is part of a tetralogy that explores the lives of young naval officers in the Royal Navy during the 1860s. The narrative likely focuses on the adventures of three midshipmen who have grown up to become admirals, including their friendships and experiences both at sea and while on shore. The opening of the book introduces Her Majesty's corvette "Dragon", commanded by the capable Commander Rawson. As the crew navigates across the Pacific Ocean, the protagonists—Tom Rogers, Archie Gordon, and Gerald Desmond—converse about their maritime experiences and the excitement of naval life. After a series of entertaining dialogues, the ship faces a looming typhoon, causing a tense and chaotic scene where the characters must react swiftly to avert disaster. This sets the stage for a gripping tale filled with adventure, camaraderie, and the challenges of life at sea amidst the backdrop of nature's fury. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
