The Second Mate by Philip Mccutchan
Tom Chatto's sixty adventurous years at sea continue. As the 20th century dawns, the time of the great steamships is firmly under way. Newly in possession of his Master's Certificate, Tom Chatto secures a glamorous berth as second officer on a liner of the Pacific Steam Navigation Company--there he encounters a hostile face from the past. But when the 'Orvega' discovers a lifeboat with two corpses aboard, it is Tom's seamanship that proves a potential lifesaver. The semi-derelict windjammer from which the lifeboat was launched is a danger to all shipping. In treacherous high seas Tom must not only board the old boat, but secure a line to the 'Orvega' and get her towed out of harm's way. Many lives are at risk should his nerve or skill fail.
