“We have here a book to delight the heart and stir the pulse of adventurous youth, besides containing much matter to interest ‘children of older growth.’... The author’s story is all his own, and is not unworthy in plot and vividness of the reputation won by his earlier work. The author traces with no little skill and graphic power the remote wanderings and strange and thrilling experiences of one Hugh Carton, a sailor lad, in distant parts.”—Birmingham Daily Post.
“This admirable romance. The adventures of the hero amongst ‘marvellous scenes and marvellous people’ are related most vividly and with considerable skill.... The sea fights and perils and dangers of the deep are also very well done.”—Newcastle Dally Chronicle.
