AbstractHistoryArchive Description
Continued from The Feast of Death. Colt Price lets First Mate Cogdon sail the US boat Delaware away without charges to rid the island of her plots and her arms. An attempt on the commandant's life and the non-departure of the Delaware prompt Price to try to attack her. Meanwhile he received news of Cogdon and some convict plotters on the island. An officer's wife and two young ladies are caught up in the cross-fire; but Price chases Cogden and his men to the sea. Cogden is killed in the chase and the crew handed over to a British man-of-war. The Delaware incident helped in the dismantling of Norfolk Island soon after. (PB)
