Produced by Al Haines "Tales from the Works of G. A. Henty" by G. A. Henty is a collection of adventure stories written in the early 20th century. This anthology brings together some of Henty's tales that are rooted in historical events, primarily focused on valor and moral lessons, appealing to a younger audience. The opening of the collection features "The Mate's Story," in which Mr. Thompson recounts his harrowing voyage aboard the whaling ship "The Two Brothers". The crew encounters calamity after rescuing a distressed ship plagued by fever, leading to a moral dilemma about duty versus self-preservation. Key characters include Mr. Thompson, the ship's captain, and the missionary Mr. Williams, whose bravery and sense of duty motivate them to face the threat of disease in order to save others. Through a series of tense decisions, the narrative sets a tone of heroism and personal sacrifice, typical of Henty's storytelling.
