From the Newbery Medal Winning Author Of The Dark Frigate The Mutineers is a tale of old days at Sea and of Adventures in the Far East.

Strange events happened in our first month at sea--events so subtle as perhaps to seem an unimportant part of this narrative of a strange voyage yet really as necessary to the foundation of the story as the single bricks and the single dabs of mortar at the base of a tall chimney are necessary to the completed structure. I later had cause to remember each trivial incident as if it had been written in letters of fire.

Adventure on the High Seas.
