Alexander Musgrave narrates his own yarn as a legalized pirate, sailing under a letter of marque to harass the enemy. The story includes the capture of a French ship, shark attacks and slavery, and Musgrave’s journey into the arms of a beautiful woman—this last (1846) of Marryat’s naval stories delivers vintage high-seas adventure.
