Velvet Chains (Historical Romance)
“The Raven gauged the distance between the two vessels and knew that within three hours he would overtake the other craft. They were gaining on the other ship rapidly since the Andromeda was the faster of the two.
The Andromeda's canvas sails snapped and crackled when the wind caught them, and the distance between the two ships lessened.
Two hours passed, during which time the crew of the Andromeda waited tensely to find out if the ship were friend or foe. It had been over six months sin...ce The Raven had taken a prize, and the crew was ready to meet the enemy. Each man aboard The Raven's ship was proud to serve his captain. The men had been handpicked and were true patriots. They preferred to sail on a privateer vessel rather than serve in the as yet poorly organized United States Navy. In addition, the navy offered its crew eighteen dollars a month while the men of the Andromeda received an equal split of any prize taken, and so far the Andromeda had taken many prizes.MoreLess
