Foul Play (Barnes & Noble Digital Library)

This 1869 novel was an exposé of ship-knackers—merchants who made their money from the foundering of ships, with no regard for their crews. Robert Penfold, a young clergyman convicted of forgery, is shipwrecked while on his way to Australia and cast up, with the heroine, upon a desert island.
