The Dark Frigate
Charles Boardman Hawes
Book Overview:
The frigate Rose of Devon rescues from a wreck in mid-ocean twelve men who show their gratitude by seizing the Rose, killing her captain and sailing toward the Caribbean where they hope to plunder Spanish towns and galleons. Mistaking an English man-of-war for a merchantman, they are captured and brought back to England for trial. Only one, an English lad, Philip Marsham, a member of the original crew of the Rose, is acquitted; and he, after adventures in the forces of King Charles, tires of Cromwell's England and sails for Barbados once more on the Rose of Devon.

The colour returned to his round face and the sly, crafty look returned to his eyes. "We'll find him at Bideford, though, and all will go well again. He'll kill for a word—nay, for a thought! But he never bears a grudge—against a friend. We'll lie tonight, my lad, with a roof over our heads, and by dawn we'll take the road."

I am surprised and happy to say that I couldn't put it do
I don’t know what to make of this book. I didn’t dislike it; I didn’t like it; I’m not neutral about it either. I’m just unsettled. I can’t think of any other way to say it. So here are my thoughts…

Ar! Want to read a salty sea tale? Are you over 30? Then dig this one up!
Why won't children read this book? Is it boring?
No. There is action and adventure from page one.
Is it too violent?
I don't think so. If you're old enough to follow it, then you're old enough for the violence. It is less disturbi
