The Pirate City (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781162704845)

The Pirate City is a novel by R.M. Ballantyne that tells the story of a young man named Ralph Rover who becomes a sailor and embarks on a journey to find a lost treasure. Along the way, he and his crew encounter a group of pirates who have established a city on an island in the Caribbean. The pirates are led by a ruthless captain named Blackbeard, and Ralph and his crew must use all their wits and skills to outsmart them and escape with their lives. The novel is filled with adventure, danger, and excitement, as well as vivid descriptions of life at sea and the exotic locales of the Caribbean. It is a classic tale of swashbuckling adventure that will captivate readers of all ages.To say that Mrs Langley was dumbfounded is but a feeble way of expressing the state of her mind. Although a lady of great moral courage, and accustomed from infancy to self-control, she felt, on first beholding her timid little daughter, strongly disposed to seize Fatma by the hair of the head, and use her as a bludgeon wherewith to fell her Algerine mother; but, remembering the dignity of her position as, in some sort, a reflected representative of the British Empire in these parts, and also recalling to mind the aptitude of Algerine gentlemen to tie up in sacks and drown obstreperous Algerine ladies, she restrained herself, bit her lips, and said nothing.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
