In April 1809, Benjamin Lathrop’s father decides that his son will sail on a merchant ship bound for Canton. The voyage brings a bully named Bill Hayden, a man lurking outside the galley, an encounter with an Arab ship, ominous signs among the crew, a treasure-seeker and a boat cast adrift on the China Sea.
A superb old-style sea story for young and grown readers alike, by the author of The Dark Frigate. Download the free EPUB.
