"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.
