Cadwell, Toby. Toby Cadwell was created by Earl Griffin and appeared in seven stories in War Novels, Navy Stories, and Submarine Stories from 1928 to 1930, beginning with “This Here Ocean” (War Novels, Oct. 1928).

Toby Cadwell is the lanky captain of the converted yacht Alvado, which carries depth charges and fights the Germans, smugglers, and other wicked men. He is lanky, speaks in slang, and carries a rabbit’s foot lucky charm. “An ex-moonshiner from back yon in the Ozarks who took life as he took his liquor. Raw. His eyes were close-set and expressionless, and he walked like a man who had made a hard camel ride across the desert.”
