Among Malay Pirates : a Tale of Adventure and Peril Produced by Martin Robb, and David Widger "Among Malay Pirates: A Tale of Adventure and Peril" by G. A. Henty is a historical adventure novel likely written in the late 19th century. The book chronicles the exploits of Harry Parkhurst, a midshipman aboard Her Majesty's gunboat, Serpent, as he navigates both the turbulent waters of Southeast Asia and the dangers posed by Malay pirates. The opening of the story introduces Harry Parkhurst and his friend Dick Balderson, who are aboard their ship and yearning for excitement amid the mundane routine of naval life. As they idle on the gunboat, they witness a dramatic accident involving two canoes, leading them to leap into action to save a drowning child, the daughter of a Malay chief. This incident sets off a chain of events that intertwines their fates with the local Malay community, including pirates and chiefs. Henty’s narrative captures the tension between the British naval presence and the indigenous Malay tribes, hinting at the themes of unanticipated danger, bravery, and camaraderie that will be explored throughout the novel.
