“This is a delightfully exciting tale of the adventures of two sailor lads, with icebergs, pirates, and similar horrors of the sea. Its chief defect is that it leaves off too soon, even at the end of more than 300 pages.”—Pall Mall Gazette.
“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 a long time since we have read anything racier, breezier, more healthful and invigorating than Mr. Metcalfe’s fine sea story.”—Methodist Recorder.
