| Summary | "On Foreign Service; Or, The Santa Cruz Revolution" by T. T. Jeans is a naval fiction novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows the experiences of Sub-Lieutenant William Wilson and his fellow midshipmen aboard British warships as they navigate the complexities of a South American revolution while also dealing with the chaotic social dynamics, camaraderie, and rivalries inherent to life at sea. The characters are deeply enmeshed in their duties, eagerly facing the potential for conflict in a foreign land. At the start of the narrative, the reader is introduced to the daily lives of midshipmen onboard the British armoured cruisers "Hector" and "Hercules". The plot kicks off with an impending crisis in Santa Cruz, where tensions mount as the President's wife dies, which incites fears of revolution. The reader witnesses the antics and camaraderie of Wilson and his peers, as well as the naval customs and training they undergo. As they prepare to set sail, hints of political unrest surface, and Wilson learns about his brother Gerald's involvement in the situation on land. The atmosphere is charged with excitement and anticipation, setting the stage for the outbreak of revolution and the subsequent events to unfold in Santa Cruz.
