Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Dave Darrin's Third Year at Annapolis; Or, Leaders of the Second Class Midshipmen" by H. Irving Hancock is a novel written in the early 20th century that highlights the life and adventures of midshipmen at the United States Naval Academy. The story centers around Dave Darrin and his experiences as he navigates through his third year at Annapolis, where camaraderie, rivalry, and the challenges of military training shape his character and ambitions. The opening of the book introduces Dave Darrin during his leave back home, where he engages in a lighthearted conversation with his sweetheart, Belle Meade. Their dialogue reflects Dave's nostalgia for his high school days and friendship with other midshipmen and cadets, setting the stage for the connections that will unfold throughout the narrative. The peaceful atmosphere is soon interrupted by tales of past adventures, the anticipation of the upcoming Army-Navy football game, and hints of challenges that lie ahead, such as rivalries and unforeseen dangers that will test the mettle of the midshipmen. The scene establishes both the personal relationships and the competitive spirit that are central to the story's development.
