'A Master of Fortune: Being Further Adventures of Captain Kettle' by Charles John Cutcliffe Wright Hyne is an exciting naval adventure novel that follows the misadventures of Captain Kettle. Forced to take a job as a pilot on the Congo for a measly eight pounds a month, Captain Kettle finds himself among a group of men who, for various reasons, can't find work elsewhere. But when he's offered the position without any questions asked, Kettle realizes the Congo is desperate for experienced sailors to handle steamers. With no other choice, Kettle sets out on a perilous journey filled with rascally owners, unsympathetic Board of Trade, and a precarious future for his family.

The debate about the Empire dealt in idealism and morality, and both sides employed the language of feeling, and frequently argued their case in dramatic terms. This book opposes two sides of the Empire, first, as it was presented to the public in Britain, and second, as it was experienced or imagined by its subjects abroad. British imperialism was nurtured by such upper middle-class institutions as the public schools, the wardrooms and officers' messes, and the conservative press. The attitudes of 1916 can best be recovered through a reconstruction of a poetics of popular imperialism. The case-study of Rhodesia demonstrates the almost instant application of myth and sign to a contemporary imperial crisis. Rudyard Kipling was acknowledged throughout the English-speaking world not only as a wonderful teller of stories but as the 'singer of Greater Britain', or, as 'the Laureate of Empire'. In the last two decades of the nineteenth century, the Empire gained a beachhead in the classroom, particularly in the coupling of geography and history. The Island Story underlined that stories of heroic soldiers and 'fights for the flag' were easier for teachers to present to children than lessons in morality, or abstractions about liberty and responsible government. The Education Act of 1870 had created a need for standard readers in schools; readers designed to teach boys and girls to be useful citizens. The Indian Mutiny was the supreme test of the imperial conscience, a measure of the morality of the 'master-nation'.

"The Adventures of Captain Kettle" is a pirate adventure novel featuring the Cuban pirate, 'Captain Kettle' series. In this volume, he has been hired by a trader named Gedge. He was to steam off straight from the Tyne to a point deep in the North Sea, where a yacht would meet him to hand over a consignment of smuggled arms. But he felt the night to be full of eyes, and for a Havana-bound ship to leave the usual steam-lane which leads to the English Channel, was equivalent to a confession of her purpose from the outset. As the journey proceeds, it seems his worst fears were about to be confirmed...
