Beached Keels

Beached Keels (1906)
by Henry Milner Rideout

→

Houghton, Mifflin and Company, Boston and New York, 1906. Three novellas, first published individually in The Atlantic Monthly.

Review from the Outlook, December 1906: Here are three good stories, which have more or less close intimacy with the sea and equally so with the life of the seagoing man on shore. All of these three tales, but more especially the first, have quite unusual vigor and originality. The author's chief fault is a somewhat abrupt manner. One feels that he is entirely capable of writing a novel that would make its mark if he should choose to take a larger canvas and paint his picture a little less in single strong strokes and a little more in detail and with atmospheric effect. This is not said, however, in carping criticism of Mr, Rideout's present work, but because its excellence leads one to hope that he may do even better work and on a broader scale.
