Summary "Gunboat and Gun-runner: A Tale of the Persian Gulf" by T. T. Jeans is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Lieutenant Paul Reginald Martin, who is eager for adventure and is appointed to command the armed launch "Bunder Abbas" in the Persian Gulf, where he will confront the dangerous world of gun-running and serve under challenging conditions against unruly tribal factions. The opening of the narrative introduces Lieutenant Martin, who longs for a change from his monotonous service in the British fleet. His fortunes change when he learns of a vacancy aboard the "Bunder Abbas", tasked with patrolling the Persian Gulf to tackle illegal arms trade involving rifles supplied to the fierce tribes across the water. As he prepares for his new appointment, he meets intriguing characters, including the superstitious gunner, Mr. Scarlett, who carries a curse in the form of an unusual cobra bracelet and harbors a haunted past. The opening sets the stage for a thrilling adventure filled with naval patrols, cultural complexities, and the dangers of life in the Gulf region, offering readers a glance into a world of maritime intrigue and action.
