A vicious attack by Malay pirates is repulsed, but the makeshift vessel burns, and they are truly marooned. Their escape from this predicament is one that only the whimsy and ingenuity of Stephen Maturin could devise. In command now of a new ship, the Nutmeg, Aubrey pursues his interrupted mission. The dreadful penal colony in New South Wales, harrowingly described, is the backdrop to a diplomatic crisis provoked by Maturin's Irish temper, and to a near-fatal encounter with the wildlife of the Australian outback"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Maturin, Stephen (Fictitious character) $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Aubrey, Jack (Fictitious character) $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Ship physicians $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Ship captains $v Fiction. 650 7 $a FICTION / Sea Stories. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a FICTION / Historical / General. $2 bisacsh 651 0 $a Great Britain $x History, Naval $y 19th century $v Fiction. 651 0 $a New South Wales $v Fiction. 941 $a 1 952 $l FYPI314 $d 20230802012202.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=87A0AB5030FC11EEBC3B3D423BECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
