W.W. Jacobs is mostly remembered nowadays as the author of "The Monkey's Paw"; some folks recall that he also wrote other weird fiction. But the truth is that he was quite a versatile author -- Many Cargoes isn't his only volume of sea fiction; and he wrote others as well. (Jacketless library hardcover.)
