Summary

"Sea Plunder" by H. De Vere Stacpoole is a novel recalling a time when Irish Captain Blood, a seaman struggling with fortune, finds a tempting yet suspect proposition through his partner, Billy Harman, involving deep-sea cable work. Starting from the wharves of San Francisco, the Captain is captivated by a job that promises significant reward, despite its air of secrecy. Meeting the mysterious Mr. Shiner adds to Blood's wariness, hinting at an assignment that blurs the lines between legitimate work and dangerous waters filled with piracy. Through the character of Blood this tale explores an adventure that tests his moral compass as he wrestles with the choice between steady work and the allure of criminal acts.
