The first thing Callista did was disguise herself as a boy; which was not easy with her long raven locks and voluptuous body. But she managed to get herself hired as a cabin boy aboard a ship bound for America.

Her secret was safe until she fell ill and the captain discovered she was a lovely young woman. He become obsessed with her. Finally he seduced her.
