All members of the cast are perfect types

A thrilling release, written by J.A. Dorward and splendidly produced by Ashley Miller, featuring Yale Boss in the character of Shorty. Chas. Sutton, as Pete, and Bessie Learn deserve special mention, in fact all members of the cast are perfect types of the characters they portray (dock pirates and wharf rats). The various scenes contain much suspense. Shorty frustrates the gang, of which he is a member, by a clever ruse and becomes a hero. This is an enticing offering. - The Moving Picture World, November 21, 1914
