The Cruise of the Theseus

The fifty gun frigate Theseus is lying in Bombay Harbour and about to go on a slave-cruising expedition on the coast of Arabia with its crew of British and Kroo sailors, a mischievous monkey and an Arab interpreter. Engaging murderous slave traders, active service on land and the danger of war with both Russia and France make for an action packed story that has plenty of interesting and humorous episodes to delight and engage.
