Jeremy Liver—a sneak, coward, and drunk—incites mutiny aboard the good ship Atlantic. A falling spar almost kills the stalwart Captain Heron, who embarks on a dangerous course after the mutineers abandon ship. Russell’s eye for authentic nautical detail grounds this 1896 tale of romance and adventure in realism.
