In the late 18th century, life was cheap and you had fight to survive.Martin Stockley at 12 years old was underfed and undersized as the youngest of nine in a Dorset clay miner’s family and was probably doomed to die, worn out and broken at a very young age in the clay mines of Dorset. But he had a sharp mind, had learned to read, write, and do his numbers and had a fascination for maps.A stroke of good fortune sees him escape that destiny and be taken on as a ship’s boy and under steward to the captain in the Royal Navy frigate the Falcon. What follows is a chronicle of his talent for getting into and out of trouble at Gibraltar, the siege of Toulon, and against Barbary pirates.Luck and a lot of Dorset courage sees him at the center of a series of adventures. Blood, guts, a beautiful Contessa and prize money. What more could a young lad from Dorset ask for?©2018 Christopher C. Tubbs (P)2020 Christopher C. Tubbs
