The second novella, The Steamboat, is a tale of ambition and tragedy set against the backdrop of the early days of steam-powered transportation. The final novella, The Omen, is a supernatural story about a man who is haunted by a mysterious apparition. Galt's writing is characterized by his vivid descriptions of Scottish life and his keen observations of human nature.
