Description
The main hero is the son of a former captain of an English frigate, who was forced to leave the service because of a severe injury. So it’s no surprise that from the very earliest childhood this child was introduced to the art of seafaring. After getting his education, in 1810, at the age of 17, he is appointed midshipman on the “Trident” under the command of an old friend of his father. The kind captain is contrasted by his злoвний aide, Lieutenant Burke.
By his unjust treatment of the crew, Burke makes everyone aboard hate him, including Davies, who tries—unsuccessfully—to soften the lieutenant’s cruelty.
Arriving in Constantinople, John plunges into Eastern life and its madness. Out of love and a sense of duty, he helps a beautiful girl escape from her abuser and, as a result, is late for the ship—so Lieutenant Burke punishes him.
John wants revenge for the lieutenant who struck him with a cane. He challenges him to a duel, which he wins—though he knows that this act will forever close the doors of the English navy to him. All he can do is flee aboard a Neapolitan ship, where, throughout many adventures, he even survives a terrible storm, makes friends with a young Greek stricken with consumption, and faces an attack by Greek pirates…
