Explore "The Pirate" by Frederick Marryat on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Our first object will be to explain to the reader by what means Edward Templemore was induced to surmise that in Francisco, whom he considered as a rival, he had found a brother; and also to account for the reappearance of the pirate Cain.
In pursuance of his orders, Edward Templemore had proceeded on board of the wreck of the _Avenger_; and while his men were employed in collecting articles of great value which were on board of her, he had descended into the cabin, which was partly under water. He had picked up a book floating near the lockers, and on examination found it to be a Bible.
