Smith wrote these stories to fill the empty space in "The Broadside," the official journal of the Navy, yet the officers loved them, much to Smith's suprise, increasing the circulation of the journal. After Smith left the Navy, Frederick Stokes & Co. took the material and split it into two books detailing Biltmore's adventures.
While the story is quite antiquated, it still provides some humorous writing from a master wordsmith just beginning to flex his creative muscles. The story also provides some very good descriptions of the day-to-day duties of early 20th century sailors.
If you collect Thorne Smith's books but don't have this one yet, make it a point to add it to your collection. There's no telling when it'll go out of print again!
