      Wiki Coffin plays many parts on the U.S. Exploring Expedition---sailor, linguist, navigator, and, as half-Maori, cultural go-between. But then the brig Swallow reaches the coast of Patagonia, an area infamous for its rough gauchos and revolutionary spirit, and he must take on his other role, that of agent of U.S. law and order.      A New England whaler shows up, desperate to find the devious trader who has cheated him of a thousand dollars and a schooner.

Equally important, she provides a
