| Summary | "The Voyage of the Arrow to the China Seas" by T. Jenkins Hains is a naval adventure novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative features William Gore, a seasoned sailor and former captain forced to serve as a mate on the ship Arrow after the loss of his previous vessel. The book explores themes of duty, camaraderie, and the challenges faced by the crew as they embark on a perilous journey filled with storms and personal conflict. At the start of the tale, Gore, reflecting on his current rank and misfortunes, signs on as the mate of the Arrow and expresses his feelings of disappointment and nostalgia for a time when he held a captain's post. We are introduced to the ship's crew, including the amiable second mate, O’Toole, and the inexperienced third mate, Brown, who is joining the voyage under mysterious circumstances related to his family's past. As they prepare for departure from New York, the opening portion captures the anticipation and tension of embarking on their journey, foreshadowing the perils they may encounter at sea.
