Summary: "With the Dyaks of Borneo: A Tale of the Head Hunters" by F. S. Brereton is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story follows Tyler Richardson, the son of a retired naval captain, as he dreams of joining the royal navy but is faced with practical challenges. The narrative opens with Tyler's discussions about his future, leading him to pursue an adventure that will take him to Borneo, specifically to encounter the headhunting Dyaks. The beginning of the book sets the stage for Tyler's character and the environment he hails from, as well as his father's background and aspirations for him. The story introduces a conflict where Tyler grapples with the limitations imposed by his father's financial struggles and his own ambition. It depicts their conversations about a potential naval career and culminates in Tyler's decision to embark on an expedition to Borneo, where he hopes to connect with the royal navy and navigate through the treacherous waters inhabited by pirates and native tribes.
