Summary: "Dick Sands, the Boy Captain" by Jules Verne is a novel written during the late 19th century. The story revolves around the adventures of a young boy named Dick Sands, who unexpectedly becomes the captain of a whaling ship called the "Pilgrim" while facing various challenges at sea, including shipwrecks, survival, and encounters with diverse characters. At the start of the novel, the "Pilgrim," owned by James Weldon, prepares for a journey back to San Francisco after a disappointing whaling season. Captain Hull reluctantly agrees to take Mrs. Weldon and her invalid son, Jack, along with Cousin Benedict and a servant, on board. The crew consists of a small number of men, with Dick Sands serving as an apprentice. The narrative introduces several key characters, depicting the tension between the crew and the mysterious cook, Negoro. As the voyage begins, Dick's quick thinking and observation skills bring attention to a capsized vessel, leading to a dramatic rescue operation where the crew discovers survivors and a loyal dog, setting the stage for thrilling adventures to come.
