Good adventure story of a young man who works as a mate on a merchant ship. On a trip to Spain, he and the captain realize there are no British boats in the harbor, and then that there are no merchant ships at all in the harbor. They later realize the Spanish have captured all the merchant ships and imprisoned their crews. The Brits escape to later serve in the fight against the Spanish Armada.
