Under the Jolly Roger: Being an Account of the Further Nautical Adventures of Jacky Faber

By L.A. Meyer

Book Three in the Bloody Jack series

After leaving Boston in flames, Jacky had signed onto a whaler. Under the Jolly Roger picks up after she leaves it. Amazingly she had managed to stay out of trouble for the whole trip. Now she heads off to London in search of Jaimy. After being thrown out of his house by his mother she is told that he will be at the races. When she gets there (dressed in jockey silks,) she sees him with his cousin. Due to a misunderstanding she then runs off and is caught by a press gang who assume she is a boy. She is then transported to the Wolverine, where she becomes part of the crew, even after she tells them she is a girl. Oh, yes, I forgot, the captain is insane, part of the crew hates her, and her friend Amy has published a book about her. Jacky has landed herself in yet another situation, so what happens next? Read the first two books: Bloody Jack and The Curse of the Blue Tattoo, then read this one and find out.
