| Summary | "An Ocean Tragedy" by William Clark Russell is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story unfolds the emotional turmoil and tumultuous journey of Sir Wilfrid Monson, whose wife has eloped with a man he once considered a friend, Colonel Hope-Kennedy. In a desperate attempt to reclaim her, Monson embarks on a perilous sea voyage with his cousin, who becomes his confidant and ally. At the start of the narrative, we witness Monson's emotional distress as he arrives at his cousin's lodgings to reveal the catastrophic news about his wife's betrayal. Through vivid descriptions, we learn about Monson's character—his nervousness, physical stature, and the weight of grief pressing upon him. The opening chapters detail Wilfrid's frantic decision to pursue the runaway couple aboard his yacht, "Bride," as they sail to Cape Town. Tension builds around the relationships between the characters and the looming threat of confrontation on the high seas, setting the stage for an adventure that intertwines love, betrayal, and the quest for redemption.
