Great read if you enjoy Ethel M. Dell and other classic authors. I read more contemporary things as well and enjoyed it. An interesting window into the America of the late 1800's. Interesting how much freedom came with the innocence. Story is about a man trying to win back the woman he loves, and he's inspired by two boys who are "running away" to be pirates (in the fashion of Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn).

A man joins two boys and they become pirates, which the man didn't get to do growing up. They hijack a boat, which the man's former girlfriend is on and attempts to win her back. A good read with lots of adventure.

The story is mushy, preposterous and silly. But there were several places where I totally connected with the main character, and literally "felt" his desire to be a pirate...a boyhood dream which he developed into an adventure. I liked it, I enjoyed the style of writing, it was easy to imagine the voyage down the river and the severity of the storm...nicely done. Was it a "great" story? No. But nontheless it may hold several spots of connection for readers with open minds, just as it gave me some strong emotional pull.
