'It may or may not be true that a sailor has a wife in every port; but certain it is that to him every port is a new hunting ground to be approached in the spirit of Adventure. And what adventure worth the experiencing excludes the element of lovely femininity? In his stories Dale Collins, who has sailed round the world in a small yacht and writes of what he has seen, relates the thrilling adventures of love and chance experienced by a sailor on his nights ashore. This story tells how Mickie O’Day had an eerie adventure in a ruined Eastern shrine.' (p. 44)
