A collection featuring two nautical adventure stories: "The Penang
Pirate," describes how the Captain of the "Hankow Lin," suspecting
that there might be a piratical attack on his vessel on her return
voyage from Canton to Australia, lays plans to spoil the pirates'
plans. "The Lost Pinnace." HMS London is cruising the East Coast of
Africa in search of any slaver dhows. One of these is met with and
destroyed, then a midshipman with knowledge of the local language
overhears that there is a second slaver not far away, so the London
warship sets off in search of further conquest. John Conroy
