The Pirate Crocky Dixon and the Pelican Chase
In 1863 the Confederate privateer Alabama like Dixon nicknamed Crocky, sails a small schooner near Singapore. Dixon narrowly stalks the U S Bark Pelican in fog, aiming to seize her, but Captain Burt and his crew hide. A fog lift, a rope and tide give Dixon a narrow escape before a gunboat and steam whistle signals arrive.
