His Native Wife by Louis Becke is about the adventures of Captain Amos Bennett, and his stumble into love while finding new members for his crew. Excerpt: "The Kellet Passmore, of New Bedford, had just dropped anchor in the Bay of Islands, and Captain Amos Bennett, came ashore to look for men. But the skipper of the Kellet Passmore was pretty well known, and although there were plenty of men, both whites and natives, to be had by any other whale-ship captain there was none anxious to try his luck in the Passmore."
