Description

This is the last book that Mine Reed wrote before his death in 1883. And it begins like this: a teenager, from the very earliest childhood dreaming of sea romance, one day escapes from his parents’ farm to the nearest port. There he was lucky enough to get onto an American merchant ship. Thanks to his diligence and know-how, as well as the favor of the captain’s family, within a few years he becomes the second mate. All his dreams and aspirations begin to turn into reality—until suddenly something terrible happens: near Cape Horn, their «Calypso» sinks… What happens next to the crew that miraculously survives that nightmare hurricane, and what trials await them—you’ll learn by listening to this audiobook.
