Inscribed by the author below his frontispiece portrait, 'Clarence Winchester, with the regards of J.J. Bell, 1929.' Bell was a prolific Scottish author & journalist, and the letters here are to the literary editor Clarence Winchester, one of which suggests that Winchester's magazine The Argosy had hoped to publish Bell's whaling stories serially but were preempted by this book's publication.

First edition, signed presentation copy from the author; small 8vo; frontispiece portrait, patterned endpapers; publisher's blue lettered in gilt; accompanied by two autograph letters from the author.
