| Summary | "A Tale of Two Tunnels: A Romance of the Western Waters" by William Clark Russell is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story opens with Captain Jackman, recently back from an East India voyage, who finds himself embroiled in adventure and danger when he is robbed of a significant sum of money shortly after disembarking. The narrative also introduces Ada Conway, the daughter of a naval officer, who becomes entangled with Jackman's fate after rescuing him from a mysterious smuggler's tunnel along the coast. The opening of the novel sets the stage for a mix of romance and adventure as it chronicles Captain Jackman's immediate challenges after arriving home. Following his robbery, he relates his misfortune to the ship's owners, hinting at a possibly ominous past with one of his crew members. Meanwhile, the reader is introduced to Ada, who is drawn to the perilous call of the sea and the stories of smugglers that linger in her coastal town. The interwoven fates of Jackman and Ada push the plot forward as their chance encounter in the tunnels leads to budding romance, setting the tone for the unfolding narrative filled with the themes of love, danger, and adventure in a richly depicted maritime setting.
