Summary "DAVE DARRIN ON THE ASIATIC STATION" by H. Irving Hancock is a naval adventure novel written in the early 20th century. The book follows the intrepid young naval officer, Ensign Dave Darrin, and his companion, Ensign Dan Dalzell, as they navigate the challenges and dangers of the Asiatic Station, including conflicts and encounters with local forces in China. The story focuses on themes of bravery, duty, and the complexities of international relations. At the start of the novel, readers are introduced to Darrin and Dalzell as they enjoy their time in Manila, encountering a mysterious and unsettling figure known as "Burnt-face." Their day takes a turn when they are robbed by a gang of Chinese thieves, leading to an intriguing encounter with an Englishman named Pembroke, who offers them assistance. Meanwhile, tensions in the area hint at underlying conflict, which escalates as the duo works to protect American missionaries under threat from a local mob. This opening portion sets the stage for a thrilling narrative steeped in action, cross-cultural interactions, and suspenseful intrigue. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
