Louis Becke draws on his own years as a trader in the Pacific for these stories and sketches: a sick American pearl diver on his lugger, the blind man of Admiralty Island, a three-part tale of the old trading days on Nisân Island, and a chapter of shipboard mutinies. Hurricanes, mountain cocks and great tamana trees fill the background.
Unvarnished South Seas storytelling from a man who lived the trading life, for lovers of the Pacific. Download the free EPUB.
