The brothers Jack and Paul Despard both want to join the Royal Navy, but - Alas! - there is only one position for midshipman available; one of them will have to join the merchant navy. They sail forth to distant seas, but fate smiles kindly upon them. Cruel shipmates, dastardly slavers and cannibals are among the perils the brothers have to face. A thrilling tale of adventure and heroism in the Caribbean and West Africa.
