"A Prisoner of Morro; Or, In the Hands of the Enemy" by Upton Sinclair is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around Naval Cadet Clifford Faraday, who finds himself in the thick of naval warfare during the Spanish-American War as he embarks on an exhilarating yet perilous mission. As he grapples with the enemy, themes of valor, conflict, and the dangers of war unfold throughout the narrative. At the start of the tale, cadet Clif Faraday is aboard the converted tugboat Uncas, leaving Key West to join a blockading squadron off the Cuban coast. Eager for action, Clif is reminded of his past encounters with a dangerous Spanish spy named Ignacio. As the Uncas embarks on its mission, Clif’s anticipation grows—especially when a Spanish merchantman is spotted, leading to a thrilling chase and eventual capture that sets off a chain of harrowing events. The opening portion sets the stage for Clif’s dynamic struggle against the enemy, not only on the sea but also in the following chapters filled with suspense and intrigue, revealing his evolving character and the larger conflict of the war.
