# The Blue Peter

   The present collection of sea stories has hardly a dull moment, and the best of them, "The Situation of Captain Brogger," may challenge comparison with the immortal "Brogglesmith." … One does not look to Mr. Morley Roberts for subtleties of colouring. He goes at his canvas with a big brush and lays about him gallantly, one might almost say too-gallantly. But he gets his effect, and we turn from the pictures with the feeling of clean salt spray upon our face.—The Bookman (1906)
