    About this ebook

    A Desperate Voyage is a book by E. F. Knight. Knight was an English lawyer, soldier, columnist, and author of 20 books, many based on his reports as a war reporter. Excerpt: "It is no pleasant task to describe the events that now took place on the French barque. This is no tale of daring buccaneers, of exciting hand-to-hand combats of desperate men; but a narrative of cold-blooded and dastardly crime. Now that the time for carrying out his devilish scheme had come, Baptiste had taken the lead of the conspirators. Being a pacific person who hated fighting and feared danger, he determined to omit no possible precaution to obviate the risk of failure. His brain, fertile of ingenious villainy, was not long in devising how to do this."
