The Cruise of the Midge (Vol. 2 of 2) by Michael Scott
QR code
"The Cruise of the Midge" by Michael Scott is a novel written in the early 19th century. The story unfolds in a maritime setting, featuring the character Benjamin Brail, a midshipman of the British Navy, who finds himself entangled in intriguing and dangerous adventures following a traumatic incident in Havana. Themes of fate, morality, and the duality of human nature play a significant role in the narrative, inviting readers into a world
of high seas and complex characters. The opening of the novel begins with Brail awakening in a dimly lit room after suffering a stab wound, feeling faint but relieved to be alive. He experiences a vivid and emotional moment as he perceives an apparition, the young midshipman Henry De Walden, before realizing it is his friend Joe Peak who enters the room. The conversation reveals that Brail had been attacked and robbed, with De Walden and Lennox—another character—implied to have played significant roles in his rescue and recovery. As Brail recovers amidst friendly interactions with those around him, he also learns of the tenuous nature of life, the impact of human connections, and the unpredictable course of fate—all of which set the tone for the unfolding drama in the story.
