Publisher's summary

The Governor of St. Kitt's is a short story written by Arthur Conan Doyle first published in the Pearson's Magazine in january 1897. 1st story of the Captain Sharkey saga. Captain John Scarrow, of the ship Morning Star, rescues Hiram Evanson, the sole survivor of a schooner which had been scuttled by the dreadful pirate Sharkey. When they sail back to Basseterre, Sharkey is in jail. The Governor of St. Kitt's, Sir Charles, with a weak health accompanied by his doctor Dr. Larousse ask Captain Scarrow to sail them back to England. The voyage on the Morning Star is a successful one, and in about three weeks she is at the mouth of the British Channel. Captain Scarrow, the Governor and Dr. Larousse meet for a last turn of cards in the captain cabin. The Governor suddenly gets all the big stake and reveals he is Captain Sharkey, helped by his quartermaster Ned Galloway which was a fake doctor. Scarrow is tied in his cabin and Sharkey leaves the boat, which he had previously scuttled. With a dinghy, he then meets a fishermen boat, kills the crew, and the little craft crept out with her nose to the Atlantic.
