This review is from: A Master Of Craft (Kindle Edition)

...and another serialized gem from Jacobs. This one is not a collection of tales, but rather a funny take on the sea-faring life: the philandering captain with a woman in every port. If you have never tried Jacobs before, his work is often hilarious (at least when the tale surrounds the exploits of Ginger Pete, the night watchman and other assorted seafaring types).

This story has quite a few twists and some real chuckles as the captain finds himself having to endure the attention of several females and his first-mates pithy commentary on his actions. Definitely worth a try but by no means is this Jacobs' finest work.....
