McBooks Press, Ithaca, New York, U.S.A., 1998. Very Good/Unknown. Octavo, softcover, near fine in lavendar pictorial wraps. "Those who read to find amusement will be instructed, and those who wish to be instructed will be amused"...London Times. Newton Forster is a troubled young man who survives impressment into the Navy, imprisonment in France, and a shipwreck in the West Indies before gaining a post on the British East India Company vessel bound for Asia. Forster faces a thrill a chapter-murder, insanity, press gangs, prisons, pirates, treachery, and romance! Marryat's non-stop action and wry wit combine to create an immensely entertaining blend of sea story and farce. 350 pp. including glossary.
