Summary "Charley Laurel: A Story of Adventure by Sea and Land" by W.H.G. Kingston is a novel likely written in the mid-19th century. The story follows a young boy named Charley Laurel, who is raised by a British seaman named Dick after being rescued from a war-torn area in the West Indies. Their journey is filled with daring exploits, including confrontations with pirates and survival against harsh natural elements. At the start of the book, we are introduced to the tumultuous life of Charley and Dick as they grapple with the aftermath of a military assault. Dick, a fierce and loyal seaman, finds Charley, a child orphaned by violence, and pledges to protect him. As the narrative progresses, we witness their harrowing escape from a pirate ship, capture by savage tribes in the South Pacific, and their eventual return to England under the care of a shipowner's family. The opening sets a tone of adventure, camaraderie, and the struggle for survival, foreshadowing the trials that will shape both Charley and Dick as they navigate a world fraught with danger.
