This book and the sequel are real movie stuff like Pirates of the Caribbean. I wonder why they have not made a movie so far.

Good read for sea adventure buffs. Collingwood is the best in sea sories. All his books, especially, Across the Spanish Main, Adventures of Eric Blackburn, Pirate Island, Cruise of Esmeralda, are a treat to sea lovers. I also recommend Jeffrey Farnol's Black Bartlame's Treasure and it's sequal Martin Conisby's Vengeance.

This stupid book has no place in today's civilised society.

Wow. Totally unexpected collection. Good read. Takes you back to a different era. I would like more stories from this author.

This book is an anachronism. As irrelevent as an ancient book of recipes using human flesh. This book does not deserve a place in a civilised world where wild life conservation is the mantra. Let us give it a quiet burial. Dont even attempt to read it.

There is something wrong here. This is not a work of Edgar Alan Poe. This is Jules Verne.

Good book indeed.
