Charles Boardman Hawes Books Overview

The Mutineers

My father’s study, as I entered it on an April morning in 1809, to learn his decision regarding a matter that was to determine the course of all my life, was dim and spacious and far removed from the bustle and clamor of the harbor side. It was a large room paneled with dark wood. There were books along the walls, and paintings of ships, and over the fireplace there stood a beautiful model of a Burmese junk, carved by some brown artist on the bank of the Irawadi.

The Great Quest

CHAPTER I TH.8 STHANGER ONE morning early in the summer of 1826, I brushed the sweat from llly forehead and the flour from my clothes, unrolled my shirt-sleeves to my wrists, donned my coat, and, with never a suspicion that that day was to be unlika any other, calmly valked out into the slanting sunshine. Rain had fallen in the night, and the air was still fresn and cool. Although the clock had but just struck SL,,{, I had been at work an hour! and DOW that my uncle, Seth Upham, had come down to take charge of the store, I was glad that some business discussed the evening before ga. ve Ine an excuse to go on an errand to the other end of the village. Uncle Seth looked up from his ledger as I passed. cYou ure prompt to go,’ said he. ‘I’ve scarce got my hat on thc peg. Vell, the sooner the better, I suppose. Young ~Iackay’s last shipment of oil was of poor quality and color. The rascal needs a good wigging, but the best you can do is tell the old man my opinion

The Dark Frigate

In seventeenth century England, a terrible accident forces orphaned Philip Marsham to flee London in fear for his life. Bred to the sea, he signs on with the ‘Rose of Devon,’ a dark frigate bound for the quiet shores of Newfoundland. Philip’s bold spirit and knowledge of the sea soon win him his captain’s regard. But when the ‘Rose of Devon’ is seized in midocean by a devious group of men plucked from a floating wreck, Philip is forced to accompany these ‘gentlemen of fortune’ on their murderous expeditions. Like it or not, Philip Marsham is now a pirate with only the hangman awaiting his return to England. With its bloody battles, brutal buccaneers, and bold, spirited hero, this rousing tale will enthrall young listeners in search of seafaring adventure.
