Authors' Preface: This is the first true and detailed story of the piratical seizure of the Cyprus brig ... For narrative convenience, the story in these pages is told in the technique partly of an historical novel, and not of an historical treatise. Dialogue and minor details are invented, and there is some use of rational conjecture, but in everything of factual importance there is documentary evidence in support of the narrative details....Frank Clune P.R.Stephensen Sydney Australia 1960.
