Features: The kind "Captain Hook" Green took in the dock boy Williams over ten years ago, nurtured him carefully, and made him the right-hand man of the island merchant Hudd. In a moment of folly, the successful Williams misappropriated public funds and was chased off the island by Hudd. Despised by everyone, Williams was at his wit's end, just as he leaped into the sea, Green, brought to the town of Zanzibar, and arranged for him to live in the estate of Green's Omaye. By chance, Williams met the blind pirate Omar's daughter Aisha and fell deeply in love with her, becoming entangled in the local conflicts and struggles. In the end, he died by Aisha's gun, becoming a victim of a conspiracy.
