Reader reviews for Cruise of the Alerte

From the publisher

In 1889 E.F. Knight sailed the cutter Alerte on a treasure hunt to the uninhabited island of Trinidad off Brazil. He soundly skippered his crew of four paid hands and nine "gentlemen adventurers."

First line

IN the course of a long cruise in the South Atlantic and up the South American rivers, in the years 1880 and 1881, with my little yacht the Falcon, I found myself, more by accident than intention, in the neighbourhood of the small desert island of Trinidad.
