A rollicking sea adventure, set in the time of the Napoleonic Wars, this book follows the escapades of a young midshipman who enters the King's service with some ideas that run badly afoul of the standards of naval discipline!
Rather long (41 Chapters & not all of them are short!). Starts with the birth of John Easy, who becomes a Midshipman because he thinks that the equality of man can be found at sea! ( )
At second reading it is still a good book, perhaps a little unbelievable all these things happening to one guy in so short a time. But still fun, and the moral does give one pause. ( )
