A Desperate Voyage

by Edward Frederick Knight

The novel's 1898 first edition blurb describes it as "A novel by the well-known Times war-correspondent and author, describing the escape of an absconding debtor from the river Thames in a twenty-eight ton yawl, and his subsequent desperate experiences by sea and land in the South Atlantic." It is also worth mentioning that that E. F. Knight was an experienced yachtsman. The period depictions of Rio de Janeiro and other Brazilian ports are especially noteworthy.
