The Peddler Spy; or, Dutchmen and Yankees A Tale of the Capture of Good Hope

Few writers of sea stories throw around the personages of his narratives so much that is novel in character as this pleasing author. His plot and incidents, too, are widely out of the “beaten path'—he always gives us something new. In this admirable production we have such a commingling of the elements of parental affection and devotion, of singular and deeply stirring adventure, of the tenderness of the loves of two good lives as renders the work one of its author’s most readable sea creations.
