Summary "Dick Sand: A Captain at Fifteen" by Jules Verne is a novel written during the late 19th century. The story follows a young orphan named Dick Sand, who becomes the novice aboard the brig-schooner "Pilgrim," led by Captain Hull. As the plot unfolds, Dick's adventure takes a turn when the crew encounters a shipwreck, setting off a series of events that tests his courage and skills. The opening of the book introduces the reader to the "Pilgrim," a whaling vessel under the command of Captain Hull, detailing its mission and crew. We meet Mrs. Weldon, her son Jack, and Cousin Benedict, who embark on the ship for a journey back to San Francisco. Dick Sand, the capable young novice who has been raised by charity and developed a deep passion for the sea, is introduced as a central character. The narrative sets the stage for a looming shipwreck that Dick spots from the mast, expertly foreshadowing the challenges the crew will face ahead as they grapple with decisions of rescue and the complex dynamic between characters, particularly with Negoro, the enigmatic cook.
