Book excerpt: 'A Master of Fortune: Being Further Adventures of Captain Kettle' by Charles John Cutcliffe Wright Hyne is an exciting naval adventure novel that follows the misadventures of Captain Kettle. Forced to take a job as a pilot on the Congo for a measly eight pounds a month, Captain Kettle finds himself among a group of men who, for various reasons, can't find work elsewhere. But when he's offered the position without any questions asked, Kettle realizes the Congo is desperate for experienced sailors to handle steamers. With no other choice, Kettle sets out on a perilous journey filled with rascally owners, unsympathetic Board of Trade, and a precarious future for his family.
