Summary: "Sea Plunder" by H. De Vere Stacpoole is a fictional novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around Captain Blood, an experienced but down-on-his-luck Irish mariner, who, alongside his crimping companion Billy Harman, gets involved in a mysterious and dubious venture involving deep-sea cables. As they accept a job from enigmatic figures, they embark on a sea adventure laden with intrigue, with themes of piracy and moral ambiguity lurking throughout their quest. The opening of the novel introduces readers to Captain Blood, who is grappling with his circumstances in San Francisco's wharves, eager for a new opportunity. Billy Harman approaches him with an offer for a ship job that includes a sizable potential payout, igniting the Captain's interest despite suspicions about its nature. As they meet their employer, Mr. Shiner, and learn more about their assignment involving cable work, Blood's instincts warn him of impending trouble, which foreshadows deeper entanglements. The narrative hints at tension between lawful sailing and the thrill of piracy, elevating Blood's character arc as he navigates a world straddling legality and treachery, underscoring the complexities of survival in a morally ambiguous environment.
