"The cruelty, the primitive and passionate brutality, the rough fearlessness, the superstitious horror and fantasy, of human nature under the spell of the sea and the tyranny of ships, are in these pages as we find them in the pages of a very few of the renowned sea writers."—Boston Transcript.
"There is strength about everything Masefield writes that compels the feeling that he has an inward eye on which he draws to shape new films of old pictures. In these pictures is freshness combined with power."—New York Globe.
