Summary "Twice Lost" by W.H.G. Kingston is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story follows young Godfrey Rayner as he embarks on a nautical adventure, starting his journey as a midshipman on the corvette "Heroine". Throughout his voyage, he encounters pirates, treacherous waters, and a variety of characters, including a lost boy named Harry, who becomes integral to the unfolding narrative. At the start of the novel, Godfrey reflects on the emotional farewell to his family before joining the "Heroine". He and his fellow midshipmen quickly adjust to ship life, anticipating exhilarating seafaring encounters. The narrative grabs attention as Godfrey’s ship is ordered to pursue a pirate vessel, leading to various skirmishes, the rescue of a boy from enslavement, and the introduction of Dicky Popo, a lad who possesses a rich backstory involving missing parents and a life shaped by circumstance. The opening sets the stage for an adventure filled with camaraderie, danger, and the quest for freedom, promising a gripping exploration of naval life and personal discovery.
