Obvious punctuation/spelling errors were corrected without note.
In chapter I there is a [Alan Hepworth] mentioned (only once). This should probably be [Alan Hepburn], but it has not been corrected.
In chapter IV [Warborrow Bay] is mentioned (once) but the probable correct notation, [Worbarrow Bay], isn't mentioned anywhere in this book. The first notation doesn't seem to exist, the latter does. This, and the fact that Mr. Westerman mentions [Lulworth Cove] in connection with it, which lies very close to [Worbarrow Bay], makes it all the more likely that [Worbarrow Bay] is the correct notation.
Two illustrations were missing in the paper version used for producing this digitised text. These were: 'THE HIGH-PRESSURE JET CAUGHT THE TENDERFOOT FULL IN THE FACE' and 'THE DERELICT'. They are marked with "(missing from book)" in the Illustrations-list and on the spot where the image should have been.
A few cases of punctuation errors were corrected, but are not mentioned here.
