Walter Longmore, a young French-born midshipman, finds adventure and romance in this 1898 novel when he meets Miss Belle Stuart; together they face a series of adventures and misadventures. Russell’s experience in the British maritime service lends an air of realism to this high-seas thriller, praised by critics for its freshness, skill, and sheer inventive power.
