Summary: "Rivers of Ice" by R. M. Ballantyne is a novel written in the mid-19th century. The narrative begins with Captain Wopper, a rugged, charismatic sailor, who is depicted in search of a woman named Roby residing in a dilapidated area near the Thames after returning from his adventures at sea. The story introduces themes of friendship, kindness, and the struggles of the underprivileged, showcasing characters from both ends of the social spectrum. At the start of the story, Captain Wopper makes his way through a poor and bustling neighborhood, where he encounters a clever young boy named Gillie, who helps direct him to Mrs. Roby. Once he finds her, the Captain learns of her past and that she was a nurse who once cared for two boys, one of whom, Willum, is the Captain's dear friend from their days in California. As Wopper delivers a bag of gold nuggets from Willum to Mrs. Roby, it becomes clear that the characters are interlinked by a shared history of care and affection. This opening sets the stage for further exploration of personal connections and themes surrounding generosity and support amidst hardship. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
