Catalog Note This 1881 serial romance by the author of "Merle, the Mutineer" follows a corsair captain leading a midnight raid on a West Indian hacienda. Seeking revenge for nine murdered crew members, the chief agrees to help his Spanish acquaintance Don Manuel Hernandez steal gold and jewels from the mansion of Don Ivan Enderos. Though reluctant and taking no plunder himself, the chief organizes his buccaneers to extract treasure from hidden vaults while Hernandez secures additional gems. When Enderos's daughter Stella discovers the theft and raises an alarm, cavalry troops approach. The chief, shocked to learn of the girl's existence, ensures she receives no loss. Hernandez betrays the operation and flees. The corsairs successfully board their schooner and escape seaward as Spanish soldiers fire from shore and fort cannons signal pursuing cruisers. The narrative blends maritime adventure, theft, and emerging romantic complications amid naval pursuit.
