"A Modern Buccaneer" by Rolf Boldrewood is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story follows a young man named Hilary Telfer, who is driven by an adventurous spirit and a desire for the maritime life in the South Pacific. As he embarks on his journey, he encounters notorious figures like Captain William Henry Hayston and explores the intricate world of trader life in the South Seas. The opening of the novel introduces Hilary's upbringing near Sydney and establishes his deep fascination with the sea, shaped by his father's storied maritime career. At seventeen, determined to leave the conventional life behind, he sets off on his first voyage as a supercargo on a ship bound for San Francisco. Through vivid descriptions and interactions with sailors, Hilary's excitement for adventure is palpable, foreshadowing future encounters with the reckless and charming Captain Hayston, whose reputation sends shivers of thrill through Hilary's adventurous heart. The stage is set for a captivating exploration of adventure, danger, and the allure of life on the high seas. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
