Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"At Sunwich Port, Part 3" by W. W. Jacobs is a humorous and entertaining novella likely written in the early 20th century. The book features the misadventures of Captain Nugent and his son Jack, revolving around themes of family, social expectations, and the humorous consequences of well-intentioned schemes. The story is set in the quaint seaside town of Sunwich, establishing a vivid backdrop that plays a crucial role in the unfolding narrative. The plot follows Jack Nugent as he reluctantly agrees to a meeting with his estranged father, Captain Nugent, under the urging of the Kybird family. Miscommunication leads to a series of comedic errors involving crimping and mistaken identities, culminating in the captain inadvertently embarrassing himself and his son. As the narrative progresses, misunderstandings escalate, resulting in humorous encounters not only between Jack and Captain Nugent but also involving local characters such as Mr. Wilks and Mr. Nathan Smith. Ultimately, the story unfolds with twists that highlight the absurdity of social conventions and the bonds of family, all layered with Jacobs's signature wit and charm.
