Their heroes have come form very different backgrounds and are afloat for a variety of reasons: some are ships' boys, some apprentice seamen on their first voyage, some are captives, some keen fisherman, and some are simply learning how to sail their own small craft. In one sense or another all of them may be said to be "all at sea". ; 8vo; 197 pages .
