Published in 1923, 'The Dark Frigate' by Charles Boardman Hawes tells the story of the frigate Rose of Devon, which rescues twelve men who subsequently seize the ship and kill its captain. The narrative follows Philip Marsham, an English lad who is the only one acquitted after their capture and trial.
