About the authors
Louis Becke
1855–1913
A wandering storyteller of the South Pacific, he turned years of seafaring and island travel into vivid adventure tales and sketches of colonial life. His fiction and memoir-like writing helped bring the islands of Melanesia and Polynesia to a wide English-speaking readership.

Walter Jeffery
1861–1922
A sailor, journalist, and storyteller, he brought a lived feel for ships and colonial Australia to his writing. His books blend solid historical research with the pace of adventure fiction, especially in the sea tales he created with Louis Becke.
