Pirate Chase on the Niagra Aboard Aboard the Niagra
A dramatic sea chase unfolds as the Niagara battles a fast pursuing pirate schooner off Brazil. The chase features heavy gunfire, boarding threats, and a final reef collision that wrecks the pirate while the Niagara escapes unscathed. The narrative shifts to a later Atlantic passage and then to a climate and natural history note on the West of the Rocky Mountains and the Columbia River fishery.
