About This Book

A chief boatswain’s mate aboard a man-of-war notices two young officers courting a local woman as the ship calls near Madeira, and, anticipating opposition from her family, quietly assembles money, local contacts, and crewly influence to arrange their escape. The plot follows shipboard routines, seaside scenes, and neighborhood gossip while charting the seaman’s practical loyalty and resourceful measures to overcome social obstacles, mixing maritime detail with a tone of gentle humour.
