In 1923 Northrop worked on a freighter, and then he got a position as an officer aboard Dollar Line's S.S. President Hayes "Round the World" cruises. Northrop keeps diaries throughout his career as a mariner. 
  
  Northrop's title is a play on H. Rider Haggard's She: A History of Adventure (1887). Rider (1856 – 14 May 1925) was an English writer of Adventure fiction and a pioneer of the "Lost World" subgenre. The novel was adapted for the screen in 1917 (the version Cecil Northrop presumably could have seen), 1935, and 1965.
  
  "I hold it true..." lines of poetry are by American poet Ella Wheeler Wilcox (November 5, 1850 – October 30, 1919), a popular poet in the late 19th century. According to A Woman of the Century: Fourteen Hundred-Seventy Biographical Sketches Accompanied by Portraits of Leading American Women in All Walks of Life (1893), she "had the satisfaction of being a widely read author and of receiving a good price and ready sale for all she produces."
