| Summary | "Morley Ashton: A Story of the Sea. Volume 3 (of 3)" by James Grant is a gripping novel written in the late 19th century. This story delves into the harrowing adventures of Morley Ashton and his companions as they navigate the tumultuous waters of mutiny and danger. The opening chapters introduce a ship in chaos, where the crew faces the threat of pirates and personal deceptions, with Morley and Ethel Basset at the center of the tension, experiencing both the horrors of captivity and the trials of survival. At the start of the narrative, the ship "Hermione" is beleaguered by mutineers led by the savage Pedro Barradas, following a desperate uprising. The opening chapter captures a moment of heightened tension as Morley and other loyalists strategize to maintain their hold amidst chaos, while the women onboard face looming threats. Amid the dread, there are moments of human connection, especially between Morley and Ethel, who find solace in each other despite the turmoil. As the story unfolds, it reveals layers of betrayal, desperation, and the fierce struggle for survival against the backdrop of the sea, setting the stage for an intense journey filled with emotional and physical stakes.
