Jim Decks spat over the stern of the fishing smack into the smooth greyness of the early morning sea.

"There's that ruddy slaughter ship again," young Jimmy commented.
"Pirates, isnt it?" Tamzin said,
"It's White Slave traffic." said Rissa,
Jim glared at her. "What they are," he said shortly, "are horses."
"HORSES?" Tamzin and Rissa nearly shouted the word.
"S'right. Young horses. Fat. Foals and all. Like as not ate 'em yourselves in meat pies."

Tamzin and Rissa instantly decide to rescue the cargo of horses from their terrible fate and begin their raiding parties right away. They have the staunch support of all their friends, Meryon, Roger, Farmer Merrow and family, Old Jim and the fishermen and also, a surprise ally, Jonah, the tough, unloved boy whom they rescue from the slaughter ship. This proves the most difficult and dangerous adventure Tamzin and Rissa have ever been involved in . . .

Cargo of Horses is another of Monica Edwards Romney Marsh stories described so vividly that you can clearly see the wide open spaces, the stormy skies and the boats tossing in the sea.
