The collection presents eight short stories centered on nautical themes, exploring complex issues like violence, colonialism, and racism. In "The House of Mapuhi," a young man becomes obsessed with acquiring a valuable pearl, while "The Whale Tooth" critiques self-importance through a tale of cannibalism. "Yah! Yah! Yah!" offers a sympathetic view of native islanders amidst colonial brutality, and "Mauki" tells of a chief's son sold into slavery. "The Seed of McCoy" adds a unique twist to sailing adventures, and "The Heathen" highlights the bond between two men of different races during a shipwreck.
