Before passing up a career in law for the writing life, Richard
Matthews Hallett lived an exciting life of adventure, that included
a stint as a police officer, and as a seaman aboard a schooner
bound for Australia. He then trekked across that country and lived
by his wits in England for a time before returning to the States.
Later, he was a deck officer on warships convoying soldiers and
horses across the Atlantic in WW I, and facing U-boat attacks. Over
is life, Hallett wrote several novels and more than 200 short
stories that were published in the most widely read magazines of
the day, including the Saturday Evening Post, Harper's, Atlantic,
Collier's, Everybody's, and American Legion Monthly. The stories
gathered here, published in the first half of the twentieth
century, include vivid tales of the sea, both in the days of sail
and in the midst of war, often built around ship-board tensions and
tumult; and stories of Maine and New England and their small town
values and rivalries.
