Book description[]

""All hands! All hands on deck!" someone screamed. The rumbling that had wakened me was the pounding of men's feet as they rushed to their stations. My feet joined in, but once I was on deck I could barely take another step. I stared in horror at what was coming toward Pembroke. It was as though the entire river was on fire, and it was flowing right at us.
"To the boats! Bring line and grappling hooks!" shouted an officer.
