As We Sweep Through the Deep: A Story of the Stirring Times of Old

by Gordon Stables

JUST two years this very day since poor Jack Mackenzie sailed away from England in the Ocean Pride." Mr. Richards, of the tough old firm of Griffin, Keane, and Co., Solicitors, London, talked more to himself than to any one within hearing.

And we're not getting any younger. Are we, partner?"

[Emmeline · Rating 3 out of 5]

This was a rollicking tale of sea battles, forbidden romance, and an avoidance of the actual plot. It was almost as if it was more focused on the excitement of sea battles than the actual romance and the story. That said, it was humorous and exciting and a good staple for my bookshelf!
