The King and Captain O'Shea

By Ralph D. Paine

Author of "The Quest of the Golden Table," "The Guests of Captain O'Shea," Etc.


Before Johnny Kent settled down on his farm in the State of Maine to live the quiet life of a landsman he had taken part in many varied adventures on the ocean wave. Ralph Paine has told us of some of the exploits of this sturdy old engineer who, with his bosom friend, Captain Mike O'Shea, had sailed the seas in all sorts of craft. Here is the hitherto untold narrative of how Captain O'Shea and Johnny Kent did their best to place a king on his throne. A breezy romance of shipmates twain whose imagination and love of adventure led them into a danger-fraught enterprise.
