Ah-hoy!  Jacky is back.  Jacky Faber has made her way back to London by working on a whaleship.  She'll do whatever it takes to get back to her beloved Jaimy.  But, due to a misunderstanding -- so common for our Jacky -- her reunion with Jaimy is a disaster.  And it leads to poor Jacky being pressed into service on a war ship.  She is sure she will be released as soon as it is discovered that she is a female but Jacky just doesn't have that kind of luck.  She finds herself as a midshipman on a ship with a cruel captain with none so pleasant plans for her.  Through her cunning and a little bit of good luck, Jacky finds herself the captain of her own ship.  But, good things  never seem to last for Jacky.  And what of poor Jaimy?
