"No one, we think, has written so perfect a pirate tale since Treasure Island." - New York Herald Tribune. In this Newbery Medal-winning adventure, young Philip Marsham signs on with a frigate bound for Newfoundland - but when the ship is overtaken by pirates, he's compelled to join in their murderous deeds. This rousing yarn abounds in intrigue, battles, and acts of derring-do that will enchant lovers of seafaring tales.

About the Author:

Charles Boardman Hawes (1889-1923) wrote both fiction and nonfiction stories of the sea. Only two of his five books had been published at the time of his sudden death at the age of 34. He had just completed his third, The Dark Frigate, which became an instant bestseller and was awarded the Newbery Medal for best children's book of 1923.
