Publisher's Synopsis

""Moran of the Lady Letty"" is a novel written by Frank Norris. The story revolves around Moran, a young man who is in love with a beautiful woman named Alice. Moran is a sailor and works on the Lady Letty, a ship owned by Alice's father. When Alice's father dies, Moran sets out to win her heart and take control of the Lady Letty. However, their journey is fraught with danger as they encounter treacherous weather, pirates, and other obstacles. Along the way, Moran must prove himself as a capable sailor and a worthy suitor to Alice. The novel is a thrilling tale of adventure, romance, and the challenges of life at sea. It is a classic work of American literature that captures the spirit of the turn of the century and the excitement of the open sea.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.
