| Summary | "The Devil's Admiral" by Frederick Ferdinand Moore is an adventure novel written in the early 20th century. The story unfolds mainly aboard the steamer "Kut Sang", following the protagonist, James Augustus Trenholm, as he interacts with an eclectic mix of characters, including the dubious Rev. Luther Meeker and a cunning red-headed beggar named Petrak. The narrative sets the stage for a thrilling tale involving mystery, danger, and intrigue in the Pacific waters, where dark plots and personal struggles come to life. At the start of the novel, Trenholm reflects on the colorful and tumultuous events that transpired aboard the "Kut Sang" during a fateful voyage out of Manila. He observes Captain Riggs, who is reluctant to recount their adventure due to its harrowing nature. As Trenholm navigates through the bustling city, he encounters the Reverend Meeker and the enigmatic red-headed beggar, Petrak, who is later revealed to be involved in a series of suspicious activities. Tensions escalate when a sailor is murdered aboard the ship shortly after they set sail, prompting Captain Riggs to investigate the crew, who are now under suspicion, including Petrak and Buckrow. The opening chapters set a gripping tone for the unfolding mystery, leading readers to ponder the true motives of the characters and the dangers that lie ahead.
