Summary | "The White Blackbird" by Hudson Douglas is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story opens in a tense tropical setting, introducing the main character, Sallie, who is caught in a life-threatening situation aboard the decrepit steamer, the "Olive Branch". In her struggle against a predatory suitor, Jasper Slyne, and the looming threat of a mutiny, Sallie's determination is palpable as she navigates complex relationships and a dire environment. At the start of the book, the scene is set on the ship with Sallie confronting Jasper, who brazenly asserts that she is to marry him despite her desperate protests. The atmosphere escalates when Sallie discovers a potential mutiny brewing among the crew. After a sudden alarm signals trouble, the tension rises as she desperately tries to warn Captain Dove. As the opening unfolds, we witness a critical moment when Sallie bravely seeks the captain's assistance amid the chaos, foreshadowing the dangerous encounters that will define her fate and the entangled loyalties aboard the ship. The backdrop of tropical threats and mutinous crew members hints at a thrilling adventure filled with suspense and unexpected alliances. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
