When Fortune Frowns: Volume 1 (Edward Ballantyne novels) - Softcover

Most people have at least a nodding acquaintance with the Mutiny on the Bounty, but few know the tale of England's efforts to collect the rascally mutineers and hang them! WHEN FORTUNE FROWNS is the story of HMS Pandora and her crew, their efforts to find and round up the sailors and midshipmen from Bounty, and bring them back to England for a speedy trial and a well-deserved hanging. Interesting viewpoints from both the mutineers and the officers and men of Pandora tell the story, narrated by the fictitious Edward Ballantyne, 3rd lieutenant in Pandora. A rousing good sea story, crafted carefully from original documents, including Pandora's log book, written by internationally recognized, award-winning author, William H. White.
