Publisher's Synopsis

""Moran of the Lady Letty"" is a novel written by Frank Norris. The story is set in the late 1800s and follows the adventures of Moran, a young sailor who is hired to work on the Lady Letty, a luxurious yacht owned by a wealthy businessman. Moran falls in love with the businessman's daughter, Alice, and the two embark on a romantic journey across the Pacific Ocean. However, their love is threatened by the presence of a dangerous criminal who is also on board the yacht. As they sail towards their destination, Moran must use his wits and bravery to protect Alice and his crew from the criminal's sinister plans. The novel is a thrilling tale of adventure, romance, and danger on the high seas. It explores themes of love, loyalty, and the human desire for freedom and adventure.Wilbur had imagined that the fight would be hardly more than a wild rush down the slope of the beach, a dash over the beach- combers' breastworks of sand, and a brief hand-to-hand scrimmage around the old cabin. In all accounts he had ever read of such affairs, and in all ideas he had entertained on the subject, this had always been the case. The two bodies had shocked together like a college rush, there had been five minutes' play of knife and club and gun, a confused whirl of dust and smoke, and all was over before one had time either to think or be afraid. But nothing of the kind happened that morning.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
