✦ Synopsis

Product Description

Three men were still aloft when the battery, which had hoisted Spanish colors, opened fire upon us, the first shot severing our larboard main- topgallant back-stay. This damage, slight as it was, sufficed to effectually rouse Captain Pigot's hasty, irritable temper; and, hurrying the men down from aloft, he ordered the larboard broadside to be manned, and the guns to be directed upon the audacious battery. A couple of well-directed broadsides sufficed to silence its fire, and the boats were then immediately piped away.

But that was not the last of it -- not by half. The rover had a secret - a terrible, terrible secret.
