*PREFACE*
Boys' books do not really need a preface. I only write a line or two to
say my "Sauciest Boy" is a character drawn from real life.
Most of the adventures are from experiences of my own.
Scenery all painted from Nature, seascapes, cloudscapes and landscapes,
with the glamour of old ocean over all.
