Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"In Ship and Prison" by William Pendleton Chipman is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The narrative follows the tumultuous experiences of Midshipman Arthur Dunn in the Continental Navy during the American Revolutionary War, particularly his connections with Captain Samuel Tucker and the challenges they face at sea, in prison, and beyond. The opening of the narrative establishes Dunn's deep connection to the sea and his familial ties to sailing. After his mother's death, he sets out to find Captain Tucker, who was a friend of his late father. Although he initially misses Tucker, Dunn finds himself aboard the brig "Young Phoenix", commanded by a notoriously cruel captain, Weston. As the story progresses, Dunn faces challenges from the tyrannical captain and begins developing relationships with his crew, culminating in a series of conflicts, including a dramatic incident where he stands up against injustice, eventually finding himself in a British prison alongside Captain Tucker. This introduction sets the stage for a gripping tale of bravery, loyalty, and the harsh realities of naval life during a time of war.
