General Francois Fohne is plotting a revolution in Haiti. With the help of a voodoo priest, a fanatic called Napoleon and an old pirate treasure, he is hoping to take over power and make himself the new president. But the only Haitian warship has a British captain. A web of intrigue is spun and brutal fighting unleashed, pitting Napoleon against a fat Haitian officer and British midshipmen against voodoo magic and savage revolutionaries. Will the general prevail? How will the Royal Navy react when the revolutionaries seek to get the pirate treasure from Cayman Island, a British Territory?
With author biography, glossary and notes on the text and historical background. Arthur Lee Knight (1852 - 7 Jul 1944) was a popular author of adventure books in the late 19th and early 20th century. Around 1868 he joined the Royal Navy at the age of sixteen as a junior midshipman, where he served on the 51-gun screw frigate HMS Forte.
Having been a midshipman in the navy he was familiar with life in the navy and many of the episodes in his novels - such as hunting Arab slave traders - are clearly events he experienced himself and give unique insight into the world and people in the Victorian age. His readable and often racy stories are characterized by authentic navy language of the time and evocative descriptions of seascapes, distant countries and unusual people.
