Captain Manly's Navy Escapes and Nings of Mutiny
A vivid tale recounts Captain Manly’s career from a British brig to mutinous shipboard trials. He defeats a mutiny aboard the Jason, captures prizes, and faces British pursuit before trials in England and later command. The piece weaves in a classroom anecdote about ambidexterity, ending with a Youth's Companion joke about left handed spankings.
