The Stolen Cruiser
Produced by R.G.P.M. van Giesen
"The Stolen Cruiser" by Percy F. Westerman is a thrilling novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around two naval officers, Lieutenant-Commander Douglas Drake and Sub-Lieutenant Paul Fielding, who find themselves embroiled in an unexpected crisis involving the old warship "Impregnable". As they seek to uncover the mystery of the cruiser, which has been seized on the high seas, the officers are plunged into an adventure filled with pirates, cunning strategies, and tense confrontations. At the start of the novel, the reader is introduced to the crew of the torpedo-boat destroyer "Frome" as they navigate through thick fog in Spithead. The narrative quickly establishes the characters' personalities, particularly Drake's self-confidence and Fielding's cautious nature, as they prepare for what seems to be an ordinary day of naval exercises. However, when news arrives of the "Impregnable"'s mysterious seizure, their routine takes a drastic turn. The tension escalates as they learn that the cruiser has fallen into the hands of a pirate crew led by Juan Cervillo, who plans to use the ship for nefarious purposes while holding hostages. This sets the stage for the action and intrigue that follow, as Drake and his team are determined to reclaim the "Impregnable" and thwart the pirates' plans.
