Wolves of the Sea is a tale of the colonies from the manuscript of one Geoffry Carlyle, seaman, narrating adventures which befell him abroad the pirate craft named Namur.

Excerpt:

"Knowing this to be a narrative of unusual adventure, and one which may never even be read until long after I have departed from this world, when it will be difficult to convince readers that such times as are herein depicted could ever have been reality, I shall endeavor to narrate each incident in the simplest manner possible. My only purpose is truth, and my only witness history. Yet, even now lately as this all happened it is more like the recollections of a dream, dimly remembered at awakening, and, perchance, might remain so, but for the scars upon my body, and the constant memory of a woman's face."
