In mid-Pacific a sleek, piratical-looking barque runs before the wind in the wake of a full-rigged ship, and from that opening chase the story spreads into a tale of sailors, villains and innocents adrift. Forecastle superstition, a phantom ship, a black squall, mutiny and shipwreck test the courage of the honest hands as a signal of distress is sighted far from land.
