Sea Robber
Tim Severin
In his latest adventure
Hector Lynch follows his quest for the young Spanish woman, Maria, with
whom he has fallen in love. His search takes him and his friends on a
nightmare passage around Cape Horn where they come across a small
warship entombed on an icefloe, her only crew two skeletons - the
captain frozen to death in his cabin and a dog. The corpse is the
long-missing brother of a local Spanish governor in Peru.
In gratitude
for learning his brother’s fate, the governor tells Hector that Maria
has moved to the Ladrones, the Thief Islands, on the far side of the
Pacific. On the way there, Hector’s ship picks up an emaciated native
fisherman adrift on a sinking boat. He dupes his rescuers into thinking
that his home is rich in gold. But his poverty-stricken island proves to
be the jealousy guarded by a Japanese warlord who treats the visitors
as trespassers. Only when Jezreel, the ex-prize fighter, defeats the
Japanese swordsman in a duel can they escape.
Reaching the Thief
Islands, Hector allies with the native people, the Chamorro, to launch a
night raid on the Spanish fort and is finally reunited with Maria. But
will the young couple ever be able to settle down? As a known sea
robber, Hector will only be safe where the law cannot touch him so their
journey continues
