This review is from: CAPTAIN SCRAGGS OR THE GREEN-PEA PIRATES
This sea yarn recounts the adventures of three rapscallion sea-faring men - Captain Scraggs, owner of the green vegetable freighter "Maggie", Gibney the mate and McGuffney, the engineer.
One foggy night, when the Maggie, full laden, was approaching the Golden Gate, Captain Scruggs gave the signal for full speed astern. The worn signal wires broke at the first pull, giving the unsuspecting McGuffey the signal for full speed ahead. Result, the Maggie stuck firmly on a bar.
Here their adventures begin. Through the exuberance of Gibney's imagination, he is always getting them into scraps and out again, cheating them lustily in the process.
Written by Peter B. Kyne, Author of "The Valley of the Giants", "Cappy Ricks" and more.
