Damn, too late. Reading that made me think immediately of the movie
version of "Captain Blood", which quick research shows to have been
based on a book by Sabatini...
'course, I don't know that it's right; just would've guessed it myself
if I'd been quicker. :)

Mike has it!
The first two quotes were from "The Sea Hawk". The last was from "Captain
Blood." He seems to be a quite highly regarded adventure writer, both for
pure entertainment and for historical accuracy. But most of his books are
out of print and his name isn't well known anymore. But there seems to be
something of a Sabatini revival going lately.

As with the Grex Jeopardy! item, I'll post a new "mysterious" quote
after the conference restart.

But it still hasn't been linked into Books, yet. <sigh>

Not in Summer 1999 agora. They all stay around here indefinitely, however.

This was the Spring one, Rane. (You mean no one's entered one in Agora after
a couple of weeks? Who was up, anyway.)

I don't know (I play only very intermittently). But yes, this has not
been restarted in Summer.

I play only very intermittently, too. If I recognize
the author, I play. If I don't, I don't. ;-)
Reading back, I find that Mike McNally's up. He guessed
Jan Wolter's author, and then he sad he'd enter his quote
after the restart. I think the problem is there's no
mystery quote item in Agora.
