Boston--under dire circumstances, of course--Jacky Faber
boards a whaling ship bound for London, where she hopes to
find her beloved Jaimy. But things don't go as planned,
and soon Jacky is off on a wild misadventure at sea. She
thwarts the lecherous advances of a crazy captain, rallies
sailors to her side, and ultimately gains command of a
ship in His Majesty's Royal Navy. But Jacky's adventures
don't end there. . . . Includes a teaser to Jacky's
next adventure, In the Belly of the Bloodhound.
