H. M. TOMLINSON was born close to the London Docks with shipping in his blood. But when he went to sen, it was not before the mast but as a writer. The Sea and the Jungle, which resulted from his maiden voyage to South America, ranks among the finest prose of our time. It was followed by Old Junk (papers of seafaring and of his work as a tear correspondent in France). London River, Gallions Reach, and more recently, The Wind Is Rising, a collection of essays, written in England during the Blitz, unrivaled for their power of indignation.

The vengeance mounting in Europe today is awful to contemplate. What will the wreckage look like in the sunrise of the peace?
