The Call of the Sea: A Prose Anthology (Classic Reprint)FB&C Limited, 2018 M05 2 - 260 páginas Excerpt from The Call of the Sea: A Prose Anthology The Call of the Sea has a more than abstract meaning for one in whose ears it sings all through the year, and the garnering of these extracts within a hundred yards of its surf has lent enjoy ment to the task, which has been indeed no task, but a recreation. In its original form, the collection was to have included poetry, but this was antici pated by the admirable Sailor's Garland of Mr. Masefield, who has for the time being most generously dropped anchor in a large prose sister ship that my little craft may have the fair-way to herself.
