  Herbert George Wells (21 September 1866 - 13 August 1946) was an English writer. Prolific in many genres, he wrote dozens of novels, short stories, and works of social commentary, history, satire, biography and autobiography. His work also included two books on recreational war games. Wells is now best remembered for his science fiction novels and is often called the "father of science fiction", along with Jules Verne and the publisher Hugo Gernsback.
  MY FIRST FLIGHT: (EASTBOURNE, August 5, 1912-three years later.) Hitherto my only flights have been flights of imagination but this morning I flew. I spent about ten or fifteen minutes in the air; we went out to sea, soared up, came back over the land, circled higher, planed steeply down to the water, and I landed with the conviction that I had had only the foretaste of a great store of hitherto unsuspected pleasures.

The pirate John Sharkey killed his wife and two children when they were sailing from England. Since then Banks is gathering information to locate Sharkey. Two years after his misfortunes, he decides to prepare the brig Ruffling Harry for a slaving venture to Whydah in Africa. However, the ship is heavily armed like a warship rather than a merchant. And he hires the scum of the port, instead of the usual sailors from the firm. After the departure Copley Banks reveals his plans to the crew. He explains that he chooses the pirate's life. Among the 46 men only 4 decide to return to the port. After a year of piracy Copley Banks becomes as famous as Sharkey. And one day in Cuba they both meet while careening their boats. They become good friends and sunked ships together for a long while. Sharkey knew nothing of the evil that he had done to his new boon companion. One day, in the captain's cabin Banks and Sharkey are alone face to face. Banks tells him the story of his murdered wife and sons and captures Sharkey. He ties him securely around a powder barrel and lit a slow powder line while he leaves the boat. From the shore he sees the boat exploding with all his captain and crew.
