The Black Joke

The Black Jokeis a rousing sea story in the tradition of the great classic pirate tales. The time is the 1930s. The loot is bootleg liquor, not pirate gold. The ship is the "Black Joke", the speediest, nimblest craft on the Newfoundland coast - with Jonathon Spenceowner and master. An unwelcome passenger enmeshes the boat and her crew (young Peter and Kye) in danger and involve the fiercely independent people of the island of Miquelon.
