Originally published: London : Collins, 1984.
The War of 1812 continues, and Jack Aubrey sets course for Cape Horn on a mission after his own heart: intercepting a powerful American frigate outward bound to play havoc with the British whaling trade. While enjoying a respite in the South Pacific, Stephen ends up overboard, and Jack dives in to the rescue, failing to think what will happen once they are both in the water, with the Surprise disappearing in the mist.
