Dead Men Tell No Tales is a thrilling novel written by E. W. Hornung. The story revolves around the life of a young man named Alick Carruthers who is on the run from the law after being falsely accused of a crime. He boards a ship headed for Australia, hoping to start a new life there. However, things take a turn for the worse when the ship is hijacked by a group of ruthless pirates led by a man named Captain Black. Alick is forced to join the crew of the pirate ship and is soon caught up in a world of danger and adventure. The story is full of twists and turns as Alick tries to outsmart the pirates and clear his name. The book is a classic tale of adventure and suspense that will keep readers on the edge of their seats until the very end.''You mean when Ready asked him if we were out of our course? I must say I thought it was a silly question to put. It was the same the other evening about the cargo. If the skipper says we’re in ballast why not believe him? Why repeat steerage gossip, about mysterious cargoes, at the cuddy table? Captains are always touchy about that sort of thing. I wasn’t surprised at his letting out.''This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
