First edition. Hewes (1874 - 1963) was an American writer of children's literature, three times a runner-up for the annual Newbery Medal.

From the blurb - Did the Netherlanders, so long the coastal carriers of Europe, dare take ships to the Indies? How best to uncover the closely guarded secret of seaways and trade. Young Pieter, his merchant uncle's right-hand man, persuades his sober, sensible Amsterdam elders to start him off for Lisbon on a jeopardous adventure.

There are the remnants of a price sticker on the top right-hand corner of the dust jacket and in the bottom left-hand corner there is a loss of colour due to the removal of another sticker.
