You sleep below decks, where it is hot, airless, and smelly. The ceilings are so low that you can't even stand up straight. You eat salt meat and hard bread. You can drown if you ship sinks, you cana be taken prisoner, you can be killed in battle...It is a hard, tough life, and you are lucky if you survive.
Horatio Hornblower wants to do more than just survive. He is only seventeen, the youngest midshipman on the ship, and he has a lot to learn. At first he is so miserable that he wants to die, but he learns how to survive, and he learns fast. He learns to be brave, and also generous; he learns when to take a chance, when to fight, and when not to fight.
