"Commodore Junk" by George Manville Fenn is a novel written in the late 19th century. Set in a historical context, the story revolves around themes of love, betrayal, and revenge against a backdrop of maritime life in Devon. The opening chapters introduce us to several key characters, including Captain James Armstrong, who becomes embroiled in a conflict with Mary Dell, a spirited woman who feels wronged by his intentions to marry another. Their complex relationship and the societal pressures of the time form a critical aspect of the narrative. At the start of the narrative, we witness a heated exchange between Mary Dell and Captain Armstrong, as she confronts him about his engagement to another woman. The captain's dismissive attitude incites Mary's fury, revealing her fiery spirit and deep emotions. As she and the captain argue, a young lieutenant arrives on the scene, complicating the emotional landscape. Meanwhile, Mary's twin brother, Abel, and Bart, a local fisherman, discuss their concerns for Mary as she grapples with her feelings of betrayal. The remainder of the opening sets the stage for conflict, showcasing the characters’ interactions and hinting at the challenges that lie ahead for them, including societal expectations, personal vendettas, and unyielding love.
