  • The only story title that clearly indicates speculative fiction is XV. "Some Irish Fairies", pp. 150-59 in the 1st ed. (viewed at HathiTrust).
  • "The contents are for the most part impressions molded into the semblance of short stories." Consider it an "artist's sketchbook" to read for style, atmosphere, and situation rather than "sea yarns of a stirring sort". --brief review NY Times 1907-10-03 pBR540

Shillings were indicated with a variety of suffixes, e.g. 3s, 3', 3", 3/ all mean 3 shillings. Any number after that is additional pence, usually 6 (half a shilling) but sometimes 3 or 9 (a quarter of a shilling or three-quarters of a shilling).
