Catalogue synopsis

Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:

"The Cruise of the 'Lively Bee'; Or, A Boy's Adventures in the War of 1812" by John De Morgan is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The story is set during the War of 1812 and follows the adventurous exploits of a young boy named John Tempest. He embarks on a journey aboard the privateer ship "Lively Bee" and encounters various challenges and battles as he fights for his country against the British fleet. The opening of the novel sets the stage for the declaration of war. It describes a bustling scene in New York City, where citizens are reacting to news of President Madison’s declaration against Great Britain. Young John Tempest, in the uniform of a midshipman, displays excitement and patriotic zeal as he prepares to sail into action aboard the "Lively Bee." Throughout the initial chapters, readers are introduced to the dynamics of the naval conflict, Tempest's aspirations for valor and glory, and the spirited camaraderie among the crew as they anticipate opportunities for adventure and combat on the high seas.
