Description

Tall ships, a young British naval officer and a beautiful female slave are central characters in this tale about life in the nineteenth century just to the north of Australia. The adventure commences in the year 1811, during the Napoleonic wars. A British force invades Java and overcomes French and Dutch troops.The Dutch had occupied the East Indies for 200 years. Britain installed Thomas Stamford Raffles (later Sir Thomas) as lieutenant governor of Java and adjacent islands. Our hero, Lieutenant William Beatty, first officer on the navy frigate HMS Challenger, is seconded as aide to Mr Raffles in Batavia. There he falls in love with beautiful Mestizo (mixed blood) Farida, who is a slave in the household of one of the better-off locals. Slavery was rife in the Indies in those days. The couple have many adventures and Mr Beatty despairs that he will ever be able to free the entrancing young woman from the chains of bondage and make her his own. The story takes the reader from England to the East Indies, New Holland (Australia), the infant colony of New South Wales, Van Diemen¿s Land (Tasmania), New Zealand and back to England. But the story does not end there; it continues to Sumatra and the new city of Singapore. Does true love triumph in the end?
