Author: Barker, M. H. (Matthew Henry)

Barker, M. H. (Matthew Henry)

Sea stories, English; Seafaring life -- Fiction

“The narrative includes some daring adventures which would make timid
blood shudder at their magnitude.... This work abounds in interest, and
is written in a style of great vigour and elegance.”--_Weekly Times._

“The work does not want to be invested with any fictitious interest;
and the talent which is visible in its pages is its best recommendation
to public favour.”--_Morning Post._

“The attempt was a bold and hazardous one, but it has been fully
successful. We have rarely read a production of deeper interest--of
interest sustained from the first page to the last. It has been
conceived in a fine spirit; the several characters are ably painted....
He is as much at home on the ocean, and there are many scenes on
ship-board equal to the best of the great sea-lord, the author of ‘The
Spy.’”--_New Monthly Magazine._
