The Cruise of the Dazzler
''The Cruise of the Dazzler'' is an early novel by Jack London, set in his home city of San Francisco. It is considered a boy's adventure novel.〔()〕
In the novel, Joe Bronson, dissatisfied with his dull life at school, runs away and joins the crew of a sloop he sees in San Francisco Bay. He finds the captain is involved in criminal activities.
The nautical activities on board a sailing boat are authentically described, and there are convincing descriptions of boats enduring stormy weather at sea.
==Background==
London, in his autobiographical novel John Barleycorn, describes how in his youth he bought a sloop called the ''Razzle Dazzle'' from an oyster pirate called French Frank. In ''The Cruise of the Dazzler'', the captain of the ''Dazzler'' is known as French Pete, who, like French Frank, drinks to the success of business ventures. London himself became an oyster pirate.〔, from chapter 7.〕〔(Jack London ) ''Famous Authors'', accessed June 16, 2014.〕
