Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Asiatic Breezes; Or, Students on The Wing" by Oliver Optic is a fictional adventure story written in the late 19th century. The narrative follows a group of young navigators led by Louis Belgrave as they embark on a maritime adventure, starting from Alexandria, Egypt, facing various challenges and threats along the way. The primary characters include Captain Scott, his shipmates, and Louis Belgrave, who is central to the unfolding plot of danger and excitement at sea. The opening of the story sets the stage for the group's journey as they set sail on the small steam-yacht Maud, part of a larger expedition on the Guardian-Mother. Their mission is fraught with the threat of a pirate, Captain Mazagan, who has been stalking them. Early interactions among the young crew reveal their camaraderie, courage, and rising tensions regarding their safety, particularly Louis's determination to face danger rather than be coddled. The narrative introduces their plans to evade the pirate while engaging in educational pursuits, setting a tone of both adventure and growth.
