Barnaby Brine, Esquire, R.N., tells the adventures of the yacht Frolic and her lively company, from regatta dinners and an ill-fated picnic to unhappy courtships and the absurd O’Wiggins. The pleasure cruise grows more serious as the voyage goes on, bringing encounters with pirates and a crew facing what seems certain death.
A lighthearted Victorian yachting comedy that turns to real sea adventure, by a master of the nautical tale. Download the free EPUB.
