Summary "The Flying Bo'sun: A Mystery of the Sea" by Arthur Mason is a maritime adventure novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows the experiences of a young sailor serving as a mate on the speedy schooner "Wampa," as they embark on a journey to the South Seas. The narrative delves into themes of camaraderie, the perils of sea life, and the mysteries inherent to nautical travels. At the start of the book, the protagonist joins the crew of the "Wampa," where he meets the diverse group of sailors, including the handsome but nervous Captain and a mix of crew members from different backgrounds. As they set sail, the protagonist takes charge in deploying sails and managing the ship, all while forming an opinion of his shipmates' characters. The voyage soon promises trials, including navigating a forthcoming storm, the threat of mutiny, and dealing with a superstitious crew, setting the stage for the unfolding mystery and adventure that lies ahead. The opening chapters establish a vivid seafaring atmosphere and introduce a colorful cast of characters, hinting at the challenges and discoveries that are to come.
