Produced by Nick Hodson of London, England "Saved from the Sea; Or, The Loss of the Viper, and her Crew's Saharan Adventures" by W.H.G. Kingston is a nautical adventure novel likely written in the late 19th century. The story centers around a young boy, Charlie Blore, who, along with his friend Halliday, embarks on a military career at sea that leads them into a harrowing adventure aboard a brig named the "Viper," which ultimately capsizes, leaving them fighting for survival in an unforgiving sea. The opening of the novel introduces Charlie Blore as he reminisces about his youth, where he develops a keen interest in languages through a local tailor named Andrew Spurling. After being appointed as midshipmen on different ships, Charlie and Halliday eventually find themselves on the unstable "Viper." As the narrative unfolds, they encounter a disastrous capsizing incident off the African coast, leading the survivors to construct a makeshift raft, thus initiating their desperate struggle against hunger, thirst, and the vast ocean's elements. This gripping start sets the stage for further adventures, underscoring themes of survival, friendship, and the unpredictability of life at sea.
