Dead Men Tell No Tales by E.W. Hornung is a gripping tale of high-seas adventure, treachery, and mystery. The novel follows a young man, Duncan, who finds himself entangled in a perilous voyage aboard a doomed ship. When disaster strikes and the vessel is wrecked, Duncan becomes the sole survivor, only to discover that escaping the sea is just the beginning of his troubles. A sinister conspiracy, hidden enemies, and a dangerous quest for truth unfold as he struggles to clear his name and uncover the dark secrets that threaten his life.

Nothing is so easy as falling in love on a long sea voyage, except falling out of love. Especially was this the case in the days when the wooden clippers did finally land you in Sydney or in Melbourne under the four full months. Passengers and crew all saw far too much of each other, unless, indeed, they were to see still more. Their superficial attractions were mutually exhausted, they lost heart and patience in the disappointing strata which lie between the surface and the bed-rock of most natures.
