information about this edition

In Sea scamps, Rowland tells stories from the points of view of three different individuals—one of them English—in the uniform language of Mr. Henry Rowland. On reading them, a craftsman is almost irresistibly tempted to pull the yarns to pieces, to reconstruct them, to give to their incidents the proper values and proportions. And yet withal they are the real thing.

For to save you, you cannot get over the notion that these affairs really happened. Wild and improbable as is the story entitled "Back Tracks," it nevertheless impresses you as authentic. Perhaps the very fact that the method is so back-handed and criss-cross and unconventional adds to this feeling. It is as though you had heard the incidents at first hand, or had read of them in the hasty English of a cable dispatch.... —Stewart Edward White
