Summary "Salt Water: The Sea Life and Adventures of Neil D'Arcy the Midshipman" by W H G Kingston is a fictional novel written in the mid-19th century. The story centers on the adventures of a young boy named Neil D'Arcy, who joins the Royal Navy as a midshipman under the guardianship of his uncle. Set mainly in the Mediterranean, the narrative is expected to unravel themes of bravery, adventure, and the challenges faced at sea, laden with action and suspense. At the start of the book, Neil D'Arcy shares his upbringing and strong inclination towards a life at sea, influenced by his seafaring butler, Larry Harrigan. After losing both his parents, Neil is entrusted to his uncle, Counsellor D'Arcy, and quickly decides to pursue a naval career. The opening chapters describe his training and preparation for life aboard the ship "Serpent", including encounters with fellow midshipmen and insights into the realities of naval life. As Neil gears up for his adventures, readers are introduced to the rich landscape of maritime culture and the impending challenges that await him in the thrilling expanse of the sea.
