Eight stories take readers across the Pacific: a pearl diver’s house on the atoll of Hikueru in a hurricane, a missionary’s fatal errand in Fiji, a slave-recruiting voyage to the Solomons, a friendship between a white sailor and an islander, and a burning ship guided home by McCoy, descendant of the Bounty mutineers.
Vivid adventure from London’s Pacific voyages; the colonial and racial attitudes are those of 1911. Download the free EPUB.
