Summary "The Coxswain's Bride" by R.M. Ballantyne is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story follows Robert Massey, affectionately known as Sturdy Bob, who serves as the coxswain of the Greyton lifeboat. The plot touches on his life at sea, his love for a local fisher-girl named Nellie, and the challenges they face within the context of maritime adventures and heroism. The opening of the novel introduces us to the protagonist, Bob Massey, on a serene September evening with his bride-to-be, Nellie Carr. As they enjoy each other's company, Bob reflects on their impending marriage. The tranquility is disrupted by a call to duty when they learn of an impending storm, leading Bob to prepare for a potential rescue mission with his lifeboat crew. The narrative hints at the action to follow, introducing themes of bravery, love, and sacrifice as Bob and his crew navigate challenges posed by the sea. The impending storm sets the stage for the heroic endeavors that will unfold in the lifeboat, emphasizing both the peril and camaraderie in their lives. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
