David Widger Updated: 2022-12-26. "Deep Waters" by W. W. Jacobs is a collection of stories published in the early 20th century. The stories revolve around the whimsical yet often troubled lives of sailors and their interactions in a world filled with both humor and mischief. Through characters like Sam Small and other maritime figures, the narratives explore themes of luck, friendships, and the often chaotic life at sea. At the start of "Deep Waters," the narrative introduces the life of sailors returning to shore and the trouble they face with money and relationships. We meet Sam Small, who has just returned from a voyage and finds himself caught up in a lighthearted but potentially problematic friendship with a better-dressed stranger. This initial tale sets the stage for Sam's misadventures as he becomes embroiled in the search for a lost gold locket, highlighting the foibles of sailors as they navigate both the sea and their lives on land. The charm of Jacobs’ writing lies in his ability to blend humor with a keen observation of human nature, setting the tone for the stories that follow.
