Rodman The Boatsteerer

Louis Becke produced 35 books, most associated with the South Pacific. This was his 10th publication, consisting 20 seperate stories, the title being taken from the first and one of the longest in the selection. These range over a number of contemporary situations involving inter-action between Europeans and natives, perils of the sea, island traders, racial conflicts, blackbirding and piracy. The author writes with knowledge and practical experience of sailing, trading and living in the South Pacific in those colonial and often unruly times.
