Excerpt from Mr. Punch Afloat: The Humours of Boating and Sailing
River and sea, with their teeming summer life as we know them in Great Britain and around our coasts, have yielded a rich supply of subjects for the pens and pencils Of mr. Punch's merry men. In Stevenson's famous story of The Merry Men, it is the cruel side of the sea that is symbolised under that ironic description; but there is no touch of gall, no sinister undertone, in the mirth of mr. Punch's merry men.
