Summary: "A Sailor in Spite of Himself" by Harry Castlemon is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around the lives of young boys at an academy in Elmwood, focusing particularly on the rivalry between two crews in a rowing competition. The main characters are Bob Nellis, who is more favored among his peers, and Gus Layton, who exhibits jealousy and treachery, orchestrating underhanded tactics to defeat Bob's team. The opening of the novel sets the stage for a thrilling and competitive atmosphere as two rival boat crews prepare for a much-anticipated race. Bob's crew, known as the Zephyr, faces off against Gus's crew, the Mist. Tension increases as it's revealed that Gus may have tampered with Bob's oar in an attempt to sabotage his chances of winning. Amidst this backdrop of competition, we also see elements of loyalty and friendships among the boys, with an intriguing subplot about a boy named Simpson, who is known for sharing secrets, hinting at underlying conflicts and choices that will shape the story ahead.
