A book from the pen of Jules Verne is its own best advertisement. Mistress Branican shows no falling off in the author's imaginative faculties or vivacity. This is the first of bis books in which a woman has been made the central figure. Perhaps the flying trips around the world made by Miss Bisland and " Nelly Bly"gave him the idea. At any rate, it is a good one. Mistress Branican, however, traveled with a caravan, and not with a small hand-bag. The adventures of this lady on her travels are thrilling and humorous at the same time, and the whole is told with that air of sincerity which is peculiar to the romances of Jules Verne.

"Mistress Branican" by Jules Verne is a compelling narrative set in the late 19th century, focusing on the life of Dolly Branican and her husband, Captain John Branican. The story begins with the departure of Captain John aboard the Franklin, a modern clipper ship, on a voyage from San Diego to Calcutta. The narrative explores the emotional and social dynamics of Dolly's life during John's absence. Dolly, a strong and resilient woman, is left to care for their young son, Wat, while managing the household and dealing with the uncertainties of her husband's return. The novel delves into the themes of separation, love, and the challenges faced by families of seafarers. Dolly's life is further complicated by her relationship with her cousin Jane and Jane's husband, Len Burker, whose dubious character and financial troubles add tension to the story. As Dolly navigates these challenges, she remains hopeful for John's safe return, while the narrative also hints at the broader socio-economic context of San Diego's development during this period. Verne's work is a rich tapestry of personal and societal change, capturing the essence of human endurance and the evolution of maritime life on families.

Excerpt from Mistress Branican The Franklin was so well built and efficiently commanded that not a man of her crew would have shipped on another vessel - even with the assurance of obtaining higher pay. All were preparing to start content in their double confidence in a good ship and a good captain. The Franklin was to make her first voyage on behalf of William H. Andrew and Co. of San Diego. She was bound to Calcutta by way of Singapore with a cargo of American goods to return with Indian products to one of the Californian ports. Captain John Branican was a young man of nine and twenty, with an attractive but resolute face, his features telling of unusual energy; he possessed in the highest degree that moral courage so superior to physical courage - that "two o'clock in the morning courage," as Napoleon called it - that is to say, the kind that faces the unexpected and is ready for action at any moment. His head had more character than beauty, with his rough hair, his eyes animated with a keen, frank look which flashed like a dart from their black pupils. It would be difficult to imagine a man of his age more robust in body or constitution. That was clear enough in the vigour of his handshakings which indicated the ardour of his blood and the strength of his muscles. But what we have particularly to note is that the spirit contained in this body of iron was a good and noble spirit, ready to sacrifice its life for its kind. John Branican was of the character of those rescuers whose coolness enables them to perform heroic acts without hesitation. He had given proof of this early in life. One day, among the broken ice of the bay on a capsized boat, he had saved children like himself; and later on he had not belied the instincts of self-sacrifice which had marked his youth. A few years after John Branican had lost his father and his mother, he had married Dolly Starter, an orphan, belonging to one of the best families of San Diego.

MISTRESS BRANICAN(with over 80 illustrations) The Voyages extraordinairesBook #36 Mistress Branican (French: Mistress Branican, 1891) is an adventure novel written by Jules Verne There are two chances of never again seeing the friends we part with when starting on a long voyage; those we leave may not be here on our return, and those who go may never come back. But little heed of these eventualities was taken by the sailors who were preparing for departure on board the Franklin in the morning of the 15th of March, 1875. On that day the Franklin, Captain John Branican, was about to quit the port of San Diego, in California, on a voyage across the Northern Pacific. A fine vessel of nine hundred tons was this Franklin-a barquentine fully canvased with gaff sails, jibs and staysails, and with topmast and top-gallant-mast on the fore.
