After hunting for Arab slave traders in the Indian Ocean HMS Bristol is sailing for Colombo in Ceylon. Midshipmen Teddy and Dick are looking forward to shore leave. Teddy's brother has invited them to come and stay at his estate. When they leave the safety of the ship and make their way overland to the estate they must navigate a series of adventures and perils.
Arthur Lee Knight (1852 - 7 Jul 1944) was a popular author of adventure books in the late 19th and early 20th century. Around 1868 he joined the Royal Navy at the age of sixteen as a junior midshipman, where he served on the 51-gun screw frigate HMS Forte.
Having been a midshipman in the navy he was familiar with life in the navy and many of the episodes in his novels - such as hunting Arab slave traders - are clearly events he experienced himself and give unique insight into the world and people in the Victorian age. His readable and often racy stories are characterized by authentic navy language of the time and evocative descriptions of seascapes, distant countries and unusual people.
