Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"A Sub. of the R.N.R.: A Story of the Great War" by Percy F. Westerman is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The story is set during World War I and follows the adventures of Terence Aubyn, a young officer in the Royal Naval Reserve aboard the SS. "Saraband." The narrative delves into themes of espionage, naval combat, and the perils of war as Aubyn and his crewmates uncover a plot to sabotage their ship. At the start of the story, we are introduced to the SS. "Saraband," which experiences severe engine trouble after leaving Cape Town, suggesting sabotage. Chief Engineer Jock McBride discovers metal filings indicating foul play, leading Captain Ramshaw to suspect that someone onboard is behind the sabotage. As the ship navigates the Atlantic, the crew learns of Germany's declaration of war, escalating the stakes. The opening portion sets the stage for a tense atmosphere filled with intrigue, as Aubyn and his colleagues must confront internal threats while preparing for potential naval encounters in a time of conflict.
