Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Wizard of the Sea; Or, A Trip Under the Ocean" by Roy Rockwood is a novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story follows a group of boys, particularly the protagonist Montrose Folsom, as they embark on adventurous experiences connected with naval training at a boarding school, leading to extraordinary encounters under the ocean. The narrative combines elements of adventure, excitement, and encounters with the unknown, setting the stage for thrilling underwater escapades. The opening of the novel introduces Mont and his friends as they prepare for their journey to Nautical Hall, a nautical boarding school. Mont is excited and full of mischief, while banter with his friends reveals their personalities. After they arrive at the school, it becomes clear that tensions exist, particularly with a bully named Hoke Ummer. The turn of events quickly escalates as Mont finds himself in confrontations and narrowly escapes a serious accident with a cannon. As the boys' adventures continue, the initial light-hearted tone shifts towards suspense, especially when they encounter a mysterious sea monster, foreshadowing the extraordinary underwater exploits that will follow in the novel.
