Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Mortallone and Aunt Trinidad: Tales of the Spanish Main
But not I. Our house stood on the lower side of the Bridge, and the window of my attic bedroom at the back looked down and along the shipping that always crowded the river. Ever since I had slept in that room - which is to say, since I could remember anything at all - to go to sea seemed to me not only the best but the only possible calling for a man and though, about my sixteenth year, a craze for theatre going had almost driven the master passion out of my head, this lasted for a brief while only, and in the end (as I shall tell) was the means of launching me on shipboard.
