Publisher's Summary:
"Mr. Trunnell, Mate of the Ship Pirate" (1900) is a sea novel by Thornton Jenkins Hains.
Excerpt:
"I found myself, not so many years ago, "on the beach" at Melbourne, in Australia. To be on the beach is not an uncommon occurrence for a sailor; but, since the question is suggested, I will say that I was not a very dissipated young fellow of twenty-five, for up to that time I had never even tasted rum in any form, although I had followed the sea for seven years. I had held a mate's berth, and as I did not care to ship before the mast on the first vessel bound out, I had remained ashore until a threatening landlord made it necessary for me to become less particular as to occupation. It was a time when mates were plenty and men were few, so I made the rounds of the shipping houses with little hope of getting a chance to show my papers. These, together with an old quadrant, a nautical almanac, a thick pea coat, and a pipe, were all I possessed of this worlds goods..."

The Amazing Mr. Trunnell
Written 100 years ago, a wonderfully written tale of the sea. Mr. Trunnell, a fascinating figure of the title contrasted to an evil, mysterious and unpredictable ship's captain. Juxtaposed to these two, the second mate, the narrator of this tale who grows under the tutelage of Mr. Trunnell. A story of good, evil, loyalty, authority. trust and perseverance. The dialog, of the sea and of the times, draws one into the story. Any reader who loves stories of the sea and/or adventure should not miss this fine tale.
