Originally published: The innocent voyage (1929)
An idyllic, carefree life in post-colonial Jamaica comes to an abrupt end for four children, when a hurricane sweeps across the island, prompting their parents to send them to England. But on the way, pirates capture the children’s ship
After a terrible hurricane levels their Jamaican estate, the Bas-Thorntons decide to send their children back to the safety and comfort of England. On the way pirates set upon their ship, and the children are accidentally transferred to the pirate vessel. Jonsen, the well-meaning pirate captain, doesn’t know how to dispose of his new cargo, while the children adjust with surprising ease to their new life. As this strange company drifts around the Caribbean, events turn more frightening and the pirates find themselves increasingly incriminated by the children’s fates. The most shocking betrayal, however, will take place only after the return to civilization.
The swift action of Hughes’s novel, together with its insight into the psychology of children, made it a best seller when it was first published in 1929 and has since established it as a classic of twentieth-century literature - an unequaled exploration of the nature, and limits, of innocence.

The saga of A High Wind…. I don’t have Audible so I used an m4b download I found on line. Put it through InAudible, previewed chapters which sounded perfect. I didn’t recheck after dividing into parts that looked like OneClick files. Probably mp3s in VBR, merger than converted to m4b. I put them in Audacity, lowered the speed by 30% of standard. Yes, I clicked through all….Lets hope for the best.

Thank you It seems complete and the speed is correct (chapter 1 seems a bit slow compared to some others but is still fine)
Thanks again this is a step above much of the usual audiobooks.

Thanks for the report…I did the tracks at 30 and 25 to compare. 25 was too fast, I was judging by the female voice. Could have adjusted more but I wanted to get it back up. I’m picky about my uploads and wished it had been reported to the forum. It could have been corrected sooner….

Thx for your upload though, cos if you didn’t, I would not have known about the copy.
