Synopsis
Cappy Ricks: Or, The Subjugation Of Matt Peasley by Peter Bernard Kyne. Cappy Ricks: Or, The Subjugation Of Matt Peasley chronicles the comic clash of two dominating figures of Pacific maritime business: the canny, avuncular lumber-and-shipping magnate Alden P. Ricks, known as Cappy, and a young, ambitious seaman named Matthew Peasley who climbs from deckhand to shipmaster under the Blue Star Navigation Company. When Captain Kendall dies, Peasley lands the coveted command of the barkentine Retriever, provoking a power struggle with Cappy’s manager, Skinner, and a gauntlet of schemes, banter, and high-seas skirmishes across Cape Town, San Francisco and Puget Sound. The tale follows Peasley’s audacious rise: defeating a ruthless Swedish rival in Table Bay, maneuvering ships and cargoes, and outwitting corporate desk-drudges with practical seamanship, legal gambits, and a dose of Yankee grit. The plot culminates in Matt’s audacious ventures (recharters, the Unicorn and Lion, the Narcissus) his courtship and marriage to Cappy’s daughter Florry, and a reshaped corporate world with Matt as partner and future shipping magnate. The book blends nautical color, picaresque capers, and hard-edged business satire.
