| Summary | "The African Trader; or, The Adventures of Harry Bayford" by W.H.G. Kingston is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story follows Harry Bayford, a young man who, after the death of his father and loss of family fortune, embarks on a trading voyage to Africa. As he travels, he encounters various challenges, including yellow fever among the crew and a confrontation with a slave trader, all while searching for his old nurse's son, Cheebo. At the start of the book, we witness Harry's tragic backstory as he returns home from school only to find his father has died after suffering significant financial losses. Left with his sisters and no means to survive, Harry chooses to join Captain Willis on the brigantine "Chieftain," which sets sail for Africa. As they navigate the deadly environment and confront misfortunes, including disease and a fire aboard the ship, Harry's determination to uphold his family's name and help his sisters leads him on a dangerous and transformative adventure. The narrative also hints at deeper themes of loss, sacrifice, and personal growth amidst the backdrop of the harsh realities of sea trade and colonialism.
