"A play with an unusual atmosphere...is sheer melodrama, but the players give a most colourful performance, and the varied effects necessary to represent a tramp steamer at sea show great resourcefulness. ...The piece opens well, and the scenes on the steamer are done so successfully that a tense atmosphere is attained. The players work well together, and they give comedy just the right weight." (Dundee Evening Telegraph, 3 February 1931)
