Project Gutenberg 2014-07-29 Public domain in the USA. 204 Sims, George R. 1847 1922 Sims, G. R. (George Robert) Sims, George Robert Rogues and Vagabonds David Widger "Rogues and Vagabonds" by George R. Sims is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story unfolds against the backdrop of various societal classes and explores themes of downfall, crime, and desperation, following a range of characters such as the doomed passengers of the sinking ship "Bon Espoir" and the titular characters inhabiting the seedy underbelly of London. The narrative promises a blend of drama and character study as it traces a series of interconnected lives. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to the harrowing scene of the "Bon Espoir" shipwreck, where passengers face the imminent threat of drowning in a calm sea, contrasting the terror of their situation with the almost idyllic conditions surrounding them. Among the passengers is Gurth Egerton, who, in a moment of desperation, confesses to the clergyman on board that he has committed murder. This confession sets the stage for unfolding drama as the ship sinks into the ocean, leaving their fates uncertain. The narrative then transitions to life on land, hinting at the vastly different lives of those who navigate the streets of London, foreshadowing the complex interplay of their destinies throughout the book.
