"This story of a cruise is about as full of adventures as it can well be. There is plenty of 'go' in the narrative, and the incidents succeed each other with a very plausible probability."—Spectator.
"It is full of adventure and well written, but perhaps its chief recommendation is its thoroughly healthy tone."—Manchester Examiner.
"It is a long time since we have read anything racier, breezier, more healthful and invigorating than Mr. Metcalfe's fine sea story. There is a fine combination of adventure of the most thrilling order, without a trace of unwholesome sensationalism, and good sound teaching just as free from mawkish sentiment."—Methodist Recorder.
