Synopsis:
The Black Pirate, in the possession of a small South Atlantic stockade, is stormed by the Red-Raiders. They burn down the fort and kill the Pirate’s men, but Jon Valor defeats the last of them.

Unable to crew his anchored ship alone, Jon takes a small launch out to sea, where he is met by Captain Treble’s slave ship. Jon is brought to a mountain mine to work as a slave, but vows to escape.
