The scene of Captain Hains's new sea story is laid in the region of the Florida Keys. His hero, the giant mate of the wrecking sloop, Sea-Horse, while not one to stir the emotions of gentle feminine readers, will arouse interest and admiration in men who appreciate bravery and daring.
His adventures while plying his desperate trade are full of the danger that holds one at a sharp tension, and the reader forgets to be on the side of law and order in his eagerness to see the "wrecker" safely through his exciting escapades.
Captain Hains's descriptions of life at sea are vivid, absorbingly frank and remarkably true. "Bahama Bill" ranks high as a stirring, realistic, unsoftened and undiluted tale of the sea, chock full of engrossing interest.

"As for Bahama Bill, the reader will like him whether he will or no; he dominates the book, unscrupulous though he may be. Nevertheless there is not a mean streak in him. We shall be tempted to read 'Bahama Bill' several times." — Springfield Union.

"Mr. Hains has done much to amuse and entertain those who like rollicking tales of the deep." — Boston Transcript.
