About this audiobook

Three men down on their luck in Tahiti agree to ship out on a vessel whose officers have died of smallpox. Their desperate venture inspires them to a further idea: they will steal the schooner and its cargo of champagne, sell them, and live a plentiful life. The thought is intoxicating... and so is the cargo, which they sample. Inattention nearly brings them to grief in a sudden storm. This sobering experience is followed by another - apparently the dead officers had a similar ambition! - and their dreams of riches vanish.

Then, nearly out of provisions and deep in the heart of the Pacific where the chart shows no land - they happen on a small isle only hinted at in the records and never mapped. Saved! But what is this? The island hides a pearl fishery?

In the ebb-tide of fortune, what new villainy will the three attempt? (Summary by Mark F. Smith)

Lloyd Osbourne (1868-1947) was an American author and the stepson of Scottish writer Robert Louis Stevenson. Born in San Francisco, he moved to Europe with his mother Fanny in 1875. While living in Paris, Fanny married Stevenson, with whom she traveled to the South Pacific. Encouraged in his literary interests by the legendary writer, Lloyd collaborated with his stepfather on three novels: The Wrong Box (1889); The Wrecker (1892); and The Ebb-Tide (1894).
