Captains Courageous

Whilst at the beach a little seaside story could be good reading. Captains Courageous is probably more Epic than most. Rudyard Kipling didn't write too many books but this one is a classic. He writes the Salty Seadogs as talking with accents and that makes hard reading.  What are the best ever fictional character names? Charlie Dickens wrote about "Uriah Heep" which might be number one but in this tale "Disko Troop" has to be the best name anyone has come up with. The book was written in 1897 and has a 50c price tag printed on the cover.
