Mr. Midshipman Easy
Authorship not stated
You are Jack Easy, raised on your father's creed that no man's rank makes his orders right, sent to sea at seventeen to test it on the Royal Navy. A lieutenant's temper and messmate Gascoigne's practical jokes teach you the gap between a principle and a rigged pistol duel faster than your father could. Given your own boat in a night raid on a Spanish convoy, you take one prize, then sail past the recall signal toward five more ships anchored under a shore battery, backed only by Mesty's approval.
