Synopsis

Excerpt from Two Yankee Middies: A Story of the First Cruise of an American Squadron in 1775

Before he had gone five miles, however, he discovered that he had underrated the sailing qualities of the frigate. Her large spread of canvas more than made up for her greater size and weight, and it was clear that she was slowly overhauling him. So he changed his course again, this time to the west, having in mind a plan which he now proceeded to make known to two lads who stood near him on the quarter deck, and who were evidently his passengers.
