He is also known for some of his short ghost tales and stories of mystery and the macabre, such as the Monkey's Paw. A Master of Craft begins: A pretty girl stood alone on the jetty of an old-fashioned wharf at Wapping, looking down upon the silent deck of a schooner below. No smoke issued from the soot-stained cowl of the galley, and the fore-scuttle and the companion were both inhospitably closed. The quiet of evening was over everything, broken only by the whirr of the paddles of a passenger steamer as it passed carefully up the center of the river, or the plash of a lighterman¿¿¿¿¿¿¿s huge sweep as he piloted his unwieldy craft down on the last remnant of the ebb-tide. In shore, various craft sat lightly on the soft Thames mud: some affecting a rigid uprightness, others with their decks at various angles of discomfort.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
