Sinopsis

Ship?s Company is a novel written by W.W. Jacobs, first published in 1901. The story is set on board a trading ship named the Crichton, which is on a voyage from London to China. The ship?s crew is made up of a diverse group of characters, including the captain, the first mate, the cook, and the cabin boy. As the voyage progresses, tensions rise between the crew members, with conflicts arising over issues such as pay, work conditions, and personal relationships. The novel also explores themes of loyalty, betrayal, and the harsh realities of life at sea. One of the key plot points in the book is the discovery of a stowaway on board the ship. This leads to a series of events that ultimately culminate in a dramatic and unexpected ending. Overall, Ship?s Company is a gripping tale of life on the high seas, filled with vivid descriptions of the ship and its crew, and a compelling narrative that keeps readers engaged from start to finish.''Cap?n Tarbell was the man I tried to do a good turn to, a man what used to be master of a ketch called the Lizzie and Annie, trading between ?ere and Shoremouth. ?Artful Jack? he used to be called, and if ever a man deserved the name, he did. A widder-man of about fifty, and as silly as a boy of fifteen. He ?ad been talking of getting married agin for over ten years, and, thinking it was only talk, I didn?t give ?im any good advice. Then he told me one night that ?e was keeping company with a woman named Lamb, who lived at a place near Shoremouth.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
