Summary "John Solomon—Supercargo" by H. Bedford-Jones is an adventure novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around John Solomon, an unconventional supercargo who finds himself entangled in a web of mystery and danger as he embarks on a maritime expedition to East Africa. The narrative follows the interactions between various characters, including the aristocratic Frederick L. C. Harcourt and the rugged American Cyrus Hammer, as they navigate both the challenges of their journey and their own personal dilemmas. The opening portion of the novel introduces readers to the initial setting at the cattle-wharf in Deptford, where Viscount Ratcliff encounters a rough character named Hammer, who turns out to be crucial in their upcoming adventures. As an old-world aristocrat, Harcourt seeks out Hammer as a potential crew member for his yacht, the "Daphne", while simultaneously dealing with the comically odd John Solomon, who boldly interrupts their dinner plans to seek employment. The chapter sets the tone for the interplay of class and personality through light humor and provides a glimpse into the dynamics among the three central characters, which is likely to evolve as they venture into East Africa for an archaeological expedition that promises both excitement and peril.
