Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Captain's Bunk" by M. B. Manwell is a story for boys written in the late 19th century. The narrative revolves around the Carnegy family, particularly Captain Carnegy and his lively children, Alick and Geoff, as they navigate their childhood adventures in the quaint fishing village of Northbourne. The book likely explores themes of family, responsibility, and the transition from childhood innocence to the complexities of growing up. The opening of the story introduces Northbourne, a picturesque seaside village characterized by its thatched cottages and the relationship between the captain and his children, who are described as unruly yet charming. The boys frequently clash with Binks, the vicarage handyman, and at the same time, their elder sister, Theo, shoulders significant household responsibilities following their mother's passing. As the children embark on various escapades, including playful mischief and interactions with whimsical characters like Mr. Vesey and the troublemaking terriers, the story sets the stage for their formative experiences, underscoring the challenges of their upbringing without parental guidance.
