The Sea Devil's fo'c'sle,

1930. From the internationally renowned journalist Lowell Thomas comes the tale of this Sea Devil friend of his, Count Luckner, a character of increasing wonder and beguilement. He was a titled aristocrat who ran away from his father's castle as a boy, went to sea, lived for years the rude life of a sailor before the mast, became an officer in the German Imperial Navy and finally during the World War took an old windjammer through the British blockade and with it raided Allied shipping in the Atlantic and Pacific, until the ship was wrecked on the coral reef of an island in the South Seas. At his side always is the countess, very young and tiny, blonde and pretty. See other titles by this author available from Kessinger Publishing.
