Star Prince Charlie II

The chapter titles in Poul Anderson's and Gordon R Dickson's Star Prince Charlie (New York, 1976) are mostly (or all?) familiar:

1. The Innocent Voyage.
2. Stranger In a Strange Land.
3. A Night at an Inn.
4. Kidnapped.
5. The Redheaded League.
6. Songs of Experience: The Tiger.
7. Man and Superman.
8. Soldiers Three.
9. A Midsummer Night's Dream.
10. Wind, Sand, and Stars.
11. The Social Contract.
12. The Return of the Native.
13. Fahrenheit 451.
14. Beat to Quarters.
15. The Prince.
16. The Deep Range.
17. Earthman's Burden.

"The Redheaded League" is title of a Sherlock Holmes short story although I am not sure of its relevance here. The titles Star Prince Charlie and "The Prince" present very different connotations of the word "Prince."

I must consult a dictionary for the meaning of the word "..sark..." as used on p. 111.
