"[...]to take care of ship and cargo during the absence of the crew, and with quick, springy step, strode to the gang-plank, and so to the wharf, whither the captain, in Mr Marshall’s company, had preceded him. As he strode along the wharf, with that slight suggestion of a roll in his gait which marks the man whose feet have been long accustomed to the feel of a heaving deck, he cast a quick, eager, recognising glance at the varied features of the scene around him, his somewhat striking countenance lighting up as he noted the familiar details of the long line of quaint warehouses which bordered the wharf, the coasters which were[...]".

The Cruise of the Nonsuch Buccaneer is an interesting title for a book written in 1914 by Harry Collingwood. The story is an old fashioned adventure, however, one that takes place in 1569. Though originally intended for young adult audiences, this tale of high-seas adventure is a captivating read for readers of all ages.Here is brief story summary. Young George St. Leger has returned from a sea voyage, only to discover that his brother is in peril and has been captured by the Spaniards, somewhere in the West Indies. Desperate, he begs the owner of a newly built vessel, the Nonsuch Buccaneer, to undertake a risky rescue mission. Will he pull off his daring plan? The story takes place at a time in history when the major European powers are colonizing the Americas. The powers are after the natural resources. In this story Spain is pulling gold and jewels from the South American, Caribbean Basin and defending her homeward bound merchant fleets with a vengeance. The story has many twists and turns and will keep you turning the pages.Harry Collingwood is the pen name for William Joseph Cosens Lancaster (1851-1922). Lancaster was a midshipmen in the British Navy but due to defective eyesight, resigned and spent a long career as a civil engineer specializing in the construction of ports and harbors. As a result he traveled a lot. He was also a prolific writer of nautical and piratical fiction.I would have rated this book a "five star" except for the writers use of what I would call the slang or 1569 "period appropriate" English language spoken at the time. This is the first book I've seen this writer do that. The writer does not do it often but there are several quotes of crewman, spoken in the language of the time that take a little interpretation of the reader to understand. This is not a major stumbling block but indicates the writer was trying to use the exact phrases of that period. The other thing that is predominant in all of Coolinwood's writing is the use of nautical terms describing a sailing vessel. Having read 5 or 6 of his nautical books, I am slowly learning the sailing terms and use the built-in Kindle dictionary feature less and less.I highly recommend this book. I find it interesting the original audience was teens. Books written by this author can be read by all ages. They contain no sex or gore. If you have not read anything by Collingwood yet, you might want to try his "Harry Escombe" book as it is about 98% on land and a good story.
