A Cadet of the Mercantile Marine

This is a first-rate yarn of sailing-ship days, which passed not long ago. The hero is Peter Kelso (incidentally a motor-bike fanatic), who sails as a cadet on the Golden Vanity, a fully-rigged ship of 3200 tons. That first voyage, full of incident, makes a sailor of him and takes the reader through a series of experiences combining to make a first-rate yarns in the author's best and most popular style.
