Becke, Louis. Adventures of a supercargo. †$1.50. Lippincott.
W 6–235.
“Reminiscences of a happy-go-lucky wandering along quiet French byways.... The dog furnishes most entertaining diversion all along the way, but so does Jimmy Potter, with his sophomoric proclivities; Mrs. Basker, with her mania for ‘doing things cheaply’ at somebody else’s expense ... and a dozen other quaint and interesting personalities that stand out with remarkable distinctness, considering the highly unconventional mode of their introduction.”—N. Y. Times.
“Delightfully humorous sketches. Fortunately Mr. Becke’s love of fun is tempered by discretion.”
