Summary "Washed Ashore; or, The Tower of Stormount Bay" by W.H.G. Kingston is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around young Jack Askew, who lives in Stormount Tower on the south coast of England. His adventurous spirit leads him into trouble with smugglers, setting the stage for a narrative filled with themes of courage, family ties, and the hope of rescue amidst perilous circumstances. At the start of the book, we are introduced to Stormount Tower, a historical and picturesque structure overlooking the sea, inhabited by Captain Askew, his family, and their loyal servant Tom. Jack Askew, the captain's son, becomes embroiled in an escapade with smugglers that culminates in a critical decision to go to sea to escape punishment. Meanwhile, his family is torn with worry for his safety, leading to mysterious happenings and the eventual quest to uncover the truth about Jack's fate. With the gripping backdrop of coastal life, elements of adventure, and budding relationships, the opening encapsulates a vivid world where danger lurks close to home, making the story compelling for young adult readers.
