LUCK OF A SAILOR by Charles Coppock

LUCK OF A SAILOR

By

Pub Date: June 18th, 1942
Publisher: Dutton

A hair raising absolutely incredible story of a young boy left by his father in the hands of a kind old captain-storekeeper in Jocatra (now Batavia). With whirlwind para they are captured by piraten and rushed off to a deserted island city to look for treasure. Mutiny, typhoon, ship-wreck all happen no fast and so madly that this has almost as little merit as a thriller comic, except that it does give a brief picture of Sir Francis Drake on his ""Golden Hind"".
