The Wake of the Lorelei Lee - Being an Account of the Further Adventures of Jacky Faber, on Her Way to Botany Bay

Jacky Faber, rich from her exploits diving for Spanish gold, has purchased the Lorelei
Lee to carry passengers across the Atlantic. Believing she has been absolved of past sins
against the Crown, Jacky docks in London to take on her crew, but is instead arrested
and sentenced to life in the newly formed penal colony in Australia. To add insult to
injury, the Lorelei Lee is confiscated to carry female convicts to populate New South
Wales. Not one to give in to self-pity, Jacky rallies her sisters to ?better? their position?
resulting in wild escapades, brushes with danger, and much hilarity.
