Lost to the sea Book 4.: Recalled to the colours (Lost to the sea.)

After a lapse of several years, James is 'Recalled to the Colours' and ordered to carry out a secret mission to find a suitable deep water naval base in America. He becomes embroiled in the Boston riots and later while making his way to report to the Admiral in Jamaica, he is attacked by pirates, then driven ashore during a hurricane. Later he meets Christiana, the half cast daughter of a Swedish slave master. Her mother was Nigerian and James agrees to take her as her father wants to expand his business.
En-route they are driven south by a storm and become becalmed in the doldrums where they come across an dis-masted barque with only a dying woman and two children alive on board. Eventually arriving back in England, James is met with a personal disaster that almost ruins him.
