THE NIGGER OF THE 'NARCISSUS' contaons, more than anything else he wrote, the essence of his experience at sea and of his views on the practical conduct of life. In THE NIGGER the author uses the Kipling touch in his description of life in the forecastle of a sailing-ship-'a fragment detached from the earth… like a small planet'. Dominating the scene is the figure of Allistoun, the vessel’s master. Typhoon is the long short story in which the unimaginative Captain MacWhirr fights a steamship through a violent Pacific storm with a boat-load of cowering coolies. In the same volume are FALK (later described by the author as 'an episode in the story of my first command'), ARMY FOSTER, and TOMORROW
