Publisher's Synopsis
With the Horn successfully rounded, and travelling into the Eastern Pacific, sailor William Lee, his fiancée Nelly Williams, and three men discover an abandoned hulk, very low, full of water, kept afloat by her load of timber. Having suffered shipwreck, it becomes their only hope. Can William, Nelly and the men steer the hulk to safety? They are so far out in the ocean that the task seems impossible. One thing is sure - survival will only come if sore trials are endured. 'A Sailor's Sweetheart', W. Clark Russell's lush, stirring novel of survival at incredible odds, was first published in 1880.
