Produced by Nick Hodson of London, England "Captain Mugford: Our Salt and Fresh Water Tutors" by William Henry Giles Kingston is a novel written in the early 19th century. The story is set in Cornwall and follows the adventures of the Tregellin family's young relatives, who are entrusted to the care of two tutors—Mr. Clare for academics and Captain Mugford for nautical skills—as well as the elderly caretakers, Clump and Juno. The main focus of the narrative involves the boys’ lessons in seamanship, swimming, and rowing, alongside the challenges they face, including a fierce storm and the encounter with smugglers. At the start of the novel, the setting is established through a vivid description of the Tregellin estate and its isolation by the sea. The boys, including Robert (the narrator), Walter, and Drake, are excited as they contemplate their impending adventure on the cape, where they will be learning under Captain Mugford. The opening chapters introduce their vibrant personalities and the dynamics of their relationships with their tutors and caregivers. The narrative also foreshadows exciting events, including sailing expeditions and encounters with danger, setting the stage for a blend of youthful adventure and the innocent thrill of maritime pursuits.
