Summary: "Charley Laurel: A Story of Adventure by Sea and Land" by W.H.G. Kingston is a novel likely written in the mid-19th century. The story follows a young boy named Charley Laurel, who is raised by a British seaman named Dick after being rescued from a war-torn area in the West Indies.

At the start of the book, we are introduced to the tumultuous life of Charley and Dick as they grapple with the aftermath of a military assault. Dick, a fierce and loyal seaman, finds Charley, a child orphaned by violence, and pledges to protect him.
