Aylward Edward 'A.E.' Dingle (1874-1947) was a sailor and writer. His own maritime adventures were as fascinating as the sea stories he wrote. He was shipwrecked five times, including being stranded on a desert island for several weeks. 'Bound for Rio Grande' is a classic swashbuckling tale about an old sailor who is shanghaied onto a ship heading round the Cape...but on his return he determines to get his revenge....
