Summary "Barney Blake, the Boy Privateer; or, The Cruise of the Queer Fish" by Herrick Johnstone is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story follows the adventures of a young sailor named Barney Blake as he joins the crew of the privateer ship Queer Fish in 1813. With a lively cast of characters and a humorous tone, the book delves into the experiences of privateering during the War of 1812, mixing comedy, camaraderie, and nautical adventure. At the start of the narrative, Barney Blake is introduced while he wanders the wharves of Boston, searching for work after being paid off from his last ship. He reunites with friend Tony Trybrace, who invites him to join the crew of the lively and quirky privateer, the Queer Fish. In an engaging portrayal of the crew's diverse personalities—including the witty Captain Joker and the enormous, good-natured cook Snollygoster—the opening establishes the comedic atmosphere of pirate life on the high seas. With elements of camaraderie and folly, the stage is set for Barney's adventures as he embarks on a year-long cruise filled with treasure hunting, battles, and the colorful antics of his shipmates.
