The Man with the Silver Oar de Robin Moore

In "The Man with the Silver Oar", a Quaker boy named Daniel, opposing his family's wishes, stows away on a ship to hunt pirates. His family believes he is doing a week-long project at the saw pits.

Daniel realizes Scarfield is actually his pious, well known, Quaker uncle. The Uncle is killed and Daniel inherits his uncle's ship.
