This fiction presents an exciting sea story circling the Bahama Bill, a sailor and a mate of Sea-Horse by the coral roadway in Key-west. Penned by American sea novelist Thornton Jenkins Hains, this work contains all the fascinating elements of nautical fiction focusing on the human relationship to the sea, sea voyages, and the bizarre creatures of the sea. The dominant themes of masculinity prevail throughout the novel. Hains was a frequent contributor to the 1920s pulp magazine Sea Stories, under his name and his pseudonym under Garnett. Excerpt from Bahama Bill, Mate of the Wrecking Sloop Sea-Horse: «The day was well advanced when the spars of the brig showed above the sea. The sky was cloudless, and the little air there was stirring scarcely rippled the ocean; the swell rolling with that long, undulating sweep and peculiar slowness which characterizes calm weather in the Gulf Stream.»
