Hamilton W. Mabie, in the Ladies’ Home Journal: “Full of incidents, dramatically told, of the heroism and romance of humble life: strong, tender, pathetic; one of the most wholesome stories of the season.”
Current Literature: “Beyond a peradventure, ranks as one of the most remarkable novels issued in 1904. Stands out so prominently in the year’s fiction that there is little likelihood of its being overshadowed.”
London Punch: “Since Thackeray wrote the last word of ‘Colonel Newcome,’ nothing finer has been written than the parting scene where Skipper Tommy Lovejoy, the rugged old fisherman, answers the last call.”
Saturday Evening Post: “There is enough power in this little volume to magnetize a dozen of the popular novels of the winter.”
Sir Robert Bond, Premier of Newfoundland: “I shall prize the book. It is charmingly written, and faithfully portrays the simple lives of the noble-hearted fisher folk.”
Brooklyn Eagle: “Norman Duncan has fulfilled all that was expected of him in this story; it establishes him beyond question as one of the strong masters of present-day fiction.”
