Der Ich-Erzähler Alexander Musgrave berichtet in einer Reihe von Briefen an eine junge Frau von seinen Erlebnissen als Kaperschiffer. So kapert er in der Karibik ein französisches Schiff, wird in einen tödlichen Kampf mit zwei Kaperschonern verwickelt, wird gefangen genommen, gelangt auf abenteuerliche Weise nach Liverpool, heuert auf einem Schiff an, das nach Afrika fährt, wird dort versklavt und muss der Lieblingsfrau eines lokalen Königs dienen, welche er unter anderen im Busch vor wilden Tieren errettet. Schließlich wird er freigekauft, kehrt nach Liverpool zurück, wo er zahlreiche Verehrerinnen in der Damenwelt findet, lässt sich jedoch von den Verlockungen des süßen Lebens nicht beirren und sticht wieder in See… Diese Zusammenfassung beschreibt nur einen kleinen Teil der kurzweiligen und spannenden Abenteuer, die der Kaperschiffer in seinen langen Jahren auf See erlebt hat – erzählt von einem Meister der Seefahrerliteratur, der diese aufregende Welt in seinen eigenen Seefahrerjahren so gut kennengelernt hat wie seine Westentasche!
