| Summary | "The Mutineers" by Charles Boardman Hawes is a historical novel likely set in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Benjamin Lathrop, a young sailor venturing out of the bustling city of Salem, Massachusetts, to join the crew of the ship Island Princess on a journey to Canton, China. The narrative promises to unfold themes of adventure at sea, exploring treachery and mutiny amidst the backdrop of maritime life and the exotic allure of the Far East. The opening of the novel introduces us to Benjamin Lathrop as he seeks to fulfill his lifelong dream of sailing. It captures the moment when he persuades his father to allow him to ship as a young sailor, filled with eagerness and ambition. As Benjamin embarks on his voyage, he encounters a diverse cast of characters aboard the Island Princess, including the alarming mildness of Kipping and the jovial camaraderie of Bill Hayden. The tone quickly shifts from youthful enthusiasm to foreboding as undercurrents of discontent brew among the crew, foreshadowing the tumultuous adventures to come, including mutiny, piracy, and personal trials as they navigate treacherous waters.
