| 520 | _a"Across the Spanish Main: A Tale of the Sea in the Days of Queen Bess" by Harry Collingwood is a historical novel set in the late 16th century. The story follows two young adventurers, Roger Trevose and Harry Edgwyth, from Devon, England, as they embark on a perilous journey to capture Spanish treasure ships amid the backdrop of ongoing hostilities between England and Spain. Their quest not only seeks fortune but is also driven by familial obligations, particularly Roger’s aim to save his family estate from financial ruin. At the start of the narrative, the boys discuss their desire for adventure, leading to a pact where they commit to sailing together for the Spanish Main. Roger's determination to restore his family’s fortune by pursuing Spanish galleons excites him, while Harry exhibits caution, worrying about their safety and familial responsibilities. As they prepare for their voyage, their lively discussions against the backdrop of Plymouth Hoe set the tone for their imminent adventures. The opening sections effectively establish their motivations and character dynamics while foreshadowing the challenges they will face, including encounters with pirates and the threat of the Spanish Inquisition.
