Lubbock, Basil. Jack Derringer: a tale of deep water. †$1.50. Dutton.
“‘The notorious Yankee skysail-yard clipper “Silas K. Higgins” the hottest hell-ship under the stars and stripes,’ ... furnishes the setting for this story which ... is a thrilling romance of the life lead by ‘shanghaied’ and other seamen in more or less lawless conditions. Brutal officers, mixed nationalities in the seamen, fightings, murderings, wreckings, and a fight with albatrosses provide plenty of exciting episodes before Jack Derringer reaches a peaceful haven with the woman he loves. Jack is a roving Englishman and his greatest chum is a certain cowboy who is ‘shanghaied’ on the ‘Higgins’ and plays an important part in the development of the story.” (Sat. R.)
“Mr. Lubbock has not ‘composed’ his picture at all. There is little perspective about it, and the very energy and knowledge which he brings to bear upon every detail sometimes confuse the general effect.”
