520			_a"The Promotion of the Admiral and Other Sea Comedies" by Morley Roberts is a collection of fictional sea comedies likely written in the early 20th century. The primary narrative follows a rough and shrewd boarding-house keeper named Shanghai Smith, who has a history of mischief and interaction with sailors, particularly a British admiral named Richard Dunn. The stories depict humorous escapades rooted in naval life, exploring themes of rivalry, identity, and revenge, particularly as Smith seeks to exact his vengeance on the admiral who once bested him in a fight. At the start of the narrative, readers are introduced to Shanghai Smith, a notorious figure in San Francisco's Barbary Coast, who tells a tale of being thrashed by a naval officer named Richard Dunn many years ago. Smith learns that Dunn, now an admiral, is arriving in San Francisco, igniting his desire for revenge. Following this setup, the plot takes a twist as Smith plots to "shanghai" the admiral and ship him onto a notoriously rough vessel called the "California", leading to a series of comedic events that showcase the admiral’s resilience and resourcefulness. As the story unfolds, the humorous elements of mistaken identities and the clash of naval tradition with the rough-and-tumble world of the Barbary Coast are cleverly woven together, setting the stage for an engaging and entertaining read.
