The novel also features a romantic subplot involving the pilot's daughter and a young American officer. The Pilot V1 is a thrilling tale of adventure, romance, and bravery set against the backdrop of the Revolutionary War.Even Griffith, while thundering his orders through the trumpet, and urging the men, by his cries, to expedition, would pause, for instants, to cast anxious glances in the direction of the coming storm, and the faces of the sailors who lay on the yards were turned, instinctively, towards the same quarter of the heavens, while they knotted the reef-points, or passed the gaskets, that were to confine the unruly canvass to the prescribed limits.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
