Across To America: A Tim Phillips Novel (War At Sea Book 9) - Plot & Excerpts
There had been a question of ownership, but with a will located giving her all of her father’s assets, the question was resolved. With that settled, she gave the command to her previous captain and moved back into her old cabin. She brought her thanks and the pistols he had loaned her. He wondered if she was going to sail to Trinidad to find her uncle, but she thought not. “I found a warehouse full of American grain that was looking for a ship to take it to England. HMS Ajax brought in an American prize last month loaded with wheat. I was there yesterday when it was offered up for sale and I purchased the lot. A convoy leaves next week for home and I plan to be in it. Grain prices are very high in Britain what with the harvest problems and I hope to make a little money with this cargo. I do not wish to appear on my uncle’s doorstep as a supplicant, so will likely wait until I have become more substantial before calling on him.” They spent an hour reminiscing their adventures that summer, then it was time for her to leave.
