Epigraph

Great ships and mighty captains - to these their meed of praise
For patience, skill and daring and loud victorious days;
To every man his portion, as is both right and fair,
But oh! forget not small craft, for they have done their share.

Small craft - small craft, from Scarpa Flow to Dover,
Small craft - small craft, all the wide world over,
At risk of war and shipwreck, torpedo, mine and shell,
All honour be to small craft, for oh, they've earned it well!

C. F. S.

Dedication

To Lieutenant P. J. Mack, R.N., as a reminder of many pleasant and some unpleasant hours spent together in small craft in 1917 and 1918.

First words

This book has no particular style, or literary merit, but it is a record, as faithful as I can make it, of incidents which took place.

Author's preface.

In view of the great interest aroused by the circumnavigation of the globe by the late Lieut. G. H. P. Muhlhauser in his 28-ton yawl "Amaryllis," Messrs. John Lane have decided to issue a second edition of his earlier work, Small Craft, simultaneously with his new book, The Cruise of the 'Amaryllis.'

Preface to the second edition.

On the 24th August, 1914, a small yacht, the "Zarefah," was steaming down the Wallet, a channel just south of Harwich, inside the Gunfleet Sands.

Chapter I. "Zarefah".
