Summary: "Quarterdeck and Fok'sle: Stories of the Sea" by Molly Elliot Seawell is a collection of children’s adventure stories written in the late 19th century. The stories center around the young and mischievous Young Brydell, who navigates the naval life with his friends and encounters various escapades and moral lessons along the way. The narratives explore themes of friendship, honor, and the challenges of growing up in a military environment, intermixed with nautical adventures and the camaraderie among young boys. At the start of the collection, the story introduces Young Brydell, a spirited boy of nine years, and details his antics at the navy yard, particularly with Admiral Beaumont and his friend Grubb, a marine. It sets a playful tone as Young Brydell builds a dirt fort and inadvertently fires a toy rifle at Grubb, which leads to a humorous exchange and a reprimand from the admiral. The chapters explore Brydell's relationships with those around him, as well as his playful yet impulsive nature. The early sections lay the foundation for Young Brydell’s character, hinting at his adventurous spirit and a future filled with challenges as he matures into the naval world.
