Mr. Trunnell, Mate of the Ship 'Pirate'

by Thornton Jenkins HAINS (1866 - 1953)

15 - Chapter XV

Mr. Trunnell, Mate of the Ship 'Pirate'

This is the tale of a perilous voyage aboard a clipper ship told by the second mate. He looks up to Trunnell, the first mate, who somehow manages to hold things together between a murdering former captain, a captain who may not actually be a captain, and a crew inclined to mutiny. This all leads to a surprising and satisfying ending. The author, Hains, wrote frequently of the sea. He is the author who (under a pen name) had a story on the newsstands about a liner hitting an iceberg and sinking, while Titanic was doing precisely that! (Summary by Mark F. Smith)
