does "santa caterina" the boat of calypso's enemy?
He read of the battle at sea between the Calypso and the Santa Cat e-rina described in an adventurous, bloodless style that made him sus-pect, perhaps unfairly, the author had been a woman writing under the masculine nom de plume Charles G. Haversham.
The boarding and sinking of the Santa Caterina, the pillaging of its stores, the killing of most of its crew turned into high-seas adventure, with hefty doses of romance. Esmeralda’s Dowry, according to Haver-sham, had been magically imbued with its mistress’s loving heart so the jewels could be held only by one who’d found true love.
“Seriously?” Eli ate another cookie. He might’ve put the book down for a different selection, but the author had so obviously enjoyed the writing, and the style proved ridiculously entertaining, and took him into pockets of the legend he’d never heard before.2. what does "The boarding of the Santa Caterina"mean?3. what does "high-sea adventure"mean?4. what does "take him into pocket of“mean?

Hello!
2) I think that the boarding of a ship is when pirates for example, invade the ship. They board it to fight against the crew and steel things and get the booty.
3) Im my opinion, High-sea adeventure is related with ocean-going adventure.
Thats all i can help you with this. :)
