Among Malay Pirates

Among Malay Pirates is a classic adventure novel by G.A. Henty, first published in 1899. The story follows the adventures of a young British sailor named Hector Campbell, who is captured by Malay pirates while sailing in the South China Sea. Hector must use his wits and courage to survive in captivity and eventually escape. Along the way, he makes friends with a fellow captive and falls in love with a beautiful Malay girl. The novel is full of action, suspense, and romance, and provides a vivid portrayal of life among the pirates of Southeast Asia in the 19th century. Henty’s writing is known for its historical accuracy and attention to detail, and Among Malay Pirates is no exception. The novel is a thrilling read for anyone interested in adventure, history, or maritime culture.''That would be a very good plan, Mr. Ferguson, and as you have proposed it, you shall take command of the boat; otherwise I should have sent either the third lieutenant or Morrison. I need not say that it will be necessary to use the greatest caution, and to avoid all risks as much as possible, though I fancy that my gig would run away from any of the ordinary native craft; but, of course, the great point is to avoid being noticed, for were one of our boats seen up the other river near the creek, the alarm would be given, and the prahus might at once shift their position, and make up the river, where we should have little chance of finding them again.''This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
