In this volume, he has been hired by a trader named Gedge. He was to steam off straight from the Tyne to a point deep in the North Sea, where a yacht would meet him to hand over a consignment of smuggled arms. But he felt the night to be full of eyes, and for a Havana-bound ship to leave the usual steam-lane which leads to the English Channel, was equivalent to a confession of her purpose from the outset. As the journey proceeds, it seems his worst fears were about to be confirmed...

Book excerpt: Charles John Cutcliffe Wright Hyne (1866-1944), also known by the pen name Weatherby Chesney, was a British novelist. His most well known character is Captain Kettle, who first appeared as a side character in the novel Honour of Thieves (1895). His first appearance as the main character was in the short story Stealing a President in vol 1, issue 6 of Pearson's Magazine (1896). This initial story was followed in 1897 by a series of twelve short stories again in Pearson's Magazine that were later collected and published as Adventures of Captain Kettle (1898). Over the next four years two more sets of twelve stories were published in Pearson's Magazine and subsequently collected as A Master of Fortune: Being Further Adventures of Captain Kettle (1901) and Captain Kettle K. C. B.: The Last Adventure (1903) respectively.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The debate about the Empire dealt in idealism and morality, and both sides employed the language of feeling, and frequently argued their case in dramatic terms. This book opposes two sides of the Empire, first, as it was presented to the public in Britain, and second, as it was experienced or imagined by its subjects abroad. British imperialism was nurtured by such upper middle-class institutions as the public schools, the wardrooms and officers' messes, and the conservative press. The attitudes of 1916 can best be recovered through a reconstruction of a poetics of popular imperialism. The case-study of Rhodesia demonstrates the almost instant application of myth and sign to a contemporary imperial crisis. Rudyard Kipling was acknowledged throughout the English-speaking world not only as a wonderful teller of stories but as the 'singer of Greater Britain', or, as 'the Laureate of Empire'. In the last two decades of the nineteenth century, the Empire gained a beachhead in the classroom, particularly in the coupling of geography and history. The Island Story underlined that stories of heroic soldiers and 'fights for the flag' were easier for teachers to present to children than lessons in morality, or abstractions about liberty and responsible government. The Education Act of 1870 had created a need for standard readers in schools; readers designed to teach boys and girls to be useful citizens. The Indian Mutiny was the supreme test of the imperial conscience, a measure of the morality of the 'master-nation'.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Adventures of Captain Kettle But Captain Kettle took the situation differently. The sight Of the torpedo-catcher stiffened all the doubt and limpness out of his composition; his eye brightened and his lips grew stiff; the scheming to escape acted on him like a tonic; and when an hour later the Sultan of Borneo was steaming merrily down Channel at top speed through the same im penetrable fog, the little skipper whistled dance music on the upper bridge, and caught the notion for a most pleasing sonnet. That evening the crew came aft in a state Of mild mutiny, and Kettle attended to their needs with gusto. He prefaced his remarks by a slight exhibition of marksmanship. He cut away the vane which showed dimly on the fore-topmast truck with a single bullet, and then, after dexterously reloading his revolver, lounged over the white rail of the upper bridge with the weapon in his hand.
