"List, Ye Landsmen! A Romance of Incident" by W. Clark Russell is a novel written in the late 19th century. It tells the adventurous tale of William Fielding, a first mate aboard the ship "Royal Brunswicker", as he navigates the complexities of life at sea and the emotional ties to his homeland. The narrative explores themes of love, duty, and the harsh realities of maritime life, with Fielding's character being central to the unfolding drama. The opening of the book introduces William Fielding as he arrives in the Downs aboard the "Royal Brunswicker". As he gazes upon the familiar coastline of England, he reflects on his past and connection to the area, recounting his time at sea and his relationship with his uncle, Captain Joe Round. This sense of nostalgia is interrupted by vivid descriptions of a storm and an encounter with a mysterious pilot that hints at danger. Fielding’s journey takes a dark turn as he faces the ominous presence of a gibbet and the ghostly figure of a woman pleading for the body of her son, leading to a harrowing escape from a press gang, setting the stage for further dramatic developments throughout the novel.
