"It will puzzle holiday makers to find a better vacation book than this. Those who go up and down the Sound in yachts will find it especially pleasing; it will appeal to those who are fond of human nature studies; may be recommended even more decidedly to the serious than to the young and frivolous; a tonic to depression and an antidote to gloom."—N. Y. Times.

"Charming, with its salt, sea-slangy flavor, its double love thread, and its pleasant chapters dealing with Long Island Sound, the Mediterranean, Massachusetts Bay and Venetian lagoons."—Chicago Record-Herald.
