Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from In the First Watch and Other Engine-Room Stories
By nice computation I make it he was no underbred deep-sea bully, nor yet the overdone autocrat of the quarter-deck; but only an exceptionally gifted man, without fear or moral sense whatever, finding his life's amuse ment, and food for a devilish humour, in searching out, and probing, and scarifying the very cores of the weaknesses of his fellow-men.
