Summary | "The Cruise of the Midge" by Michael Scott is a novel written in the early 19th century. It follows the adventures of young Benjamin Brail, who embarks on a maritime expedition filled with excitement, danger, and humor as he navigates the complexities of trade and maritime life along the African coast.

After a mischievous act almost costs him his opportunity to sail, he secures a position aboard a ship headed to trade in Africa. The opening portion sets the scene for his embarkation, detailing his relationships and the challenges he anticipates facing on the perilous seas. As Benjamin's journey begins, the reader is introduced to the rigors of maritime life and the colorful personalities aboard, hinting at the thrilling adventures and significant encounters that await him along the African coastline.
