Background
In 1909 Conrad received an unexpected visit from Captain C. M. Marris, a seafarer he had served with as a youth in the Malay Archipelago. The captain informed Conrad that many of his old colleagues were avid readers of his literary fiction. Though he had not written a short story for years, Conrad was inspired to write the works that would be collected in ‘Twixt Land and Sea.[3][4]
Conrad wrote to his literary agent J. B. Pinker on Marris’ visit in October 1909:
Conrad dedicated ‘Twixt Land and Sea to Captain Marris.[5]
