Summary "When the Squadron Dropped Anchor" by Thomson Burtis is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative follows Stanley Graydon, a former captain in the marines who, accused of cheating, faces disgrace and seeks redemption. Set against the backdrop of Central America, it explores themes of honor, betrayal, and the struggle for justice. The story unfolds as Graydon navigates the complexities of his tarnished reputation after being dismissed from the navy. His journey takes him to Santander, where he encounters hostility from local factions, including Colonel Henriquez. As he grapples with his past and seeks to clear his name, Graydon becomes embroiled in a dangerous conspiracy involving imminent revolution and foreign agents plotting sinister schemes against Ramona Bay. Through a series of dramatic events, including an unexpected alliance with Don Rafael and a dramatic confrontation with his accuser, Graydon must prove his innocence while navigating treachery and his own moral convictions. Ultimately, the narrative culminates in a profound revelation about honor and sacrifice, intertwining Graydon's quest for vindication with a greater struggle for his country.
