| Summary | "Merirosvo" by Frederick Marryat is a novel written in the early 19th century. Set against a backdrop of maritime adventure, it narrates the harrowing tale of the "Sirkassian," a ship caught in a fierce storm, detailing the plight of its crew and passengers. The story highlights the resilience of the human spirit, focusing on characters like Koko, Judy, and a helpless child, as they navigate perilous circumstances at sea. At the start of the story, the "Sirkassian" faces a treacherous situation after being caught in a violent storm in Biscay Bay, leaving it severely damaged and leaking. Onboard, three survivors—a man named Koko, a woman named Judy, and a frail child—struggle for survival as they await rescue. Desperate and resourceful, Koko attempts to sustain the child by sacrificing his own blood. Their grim situation unfolds as hope arises when Koko spots a passing ship, leading to a frantic effort to attract its attention, while shadows of despair loom over the fate of their journey.
