Cargunka was an attempt by Hodgson to create a recurring character to use in short stories for magazine publication. Hodgson had previously achieved success with his series of stories about Carnacki, the detective of the supernatural. Hodgson's next attempt at a recurring character was Captain Jat, although Jat appeared in only two stories. The popular smuggler character Captain Gault was next. D.C.O. Cargunka was Hodgson's last recurring character and he appeared in only two stories.

We learn that it stands for "dot-and-carry-one," which is a reference to Cargunka's irregular gait. He is five feet, two inches tall, very muscular, and has one short leg and thus is slightly lame -- in the same leg, as he is fond of pointing out, as the poet Byron. Cargunka curls his hair to try to look like the handsome Byron, and has aspirations to write poetry himself, although the bits of doggerel he produces in the stories indicate he is not in Byron's league. He also claims to be irresistible to women, although there seems to be little objective evidence for his claim. Cargunka may have chosen the title "D.C.O." to mislead people into believing that he holds a naval commission, since the abbreviation also means "Direct Commissioned Officer." Unlike Hodgson's Captains Gault and Jat, Cargunka is a ship owner, and not a captain. He owns two ships. One is called the Happy Return, and the other is not named. Cargunka also owns a marine stores company in Appledaulf and two bars, one connected to the marine stores company called the Red Lyon, and one on the waterfront in San Francisco, called the Dot-And-Carry-One Saloon. Cargunka's ship is actually captained by one Captain Gell, while Cargunka assumes the role of ship's cook, allegedly to save money, since he does not need to hire a cook. We are told that cooking is his "hobby, almost his passion," and that sailors love to ship out with him because of the quality of the food he produces; however, the only actual cooking that Hodgson describes Cargunka doing is peeling potatoes, and he seems to do a lot of this, even in his office. Nature of the stories The two D.C.O. Cargunka stories, written late in Hodgson's brief writing career, represent some of his best and most sophisticated work. They are lively, fast-paced, and filled with dialogue (written in dialect), and make effective use of significant detail. Unlike the Captain Jat stories, which are quite dark, the D.C.O. Cargunka stories are gently humorous. While Captain Gault often makes others the butt of his jokes, he himself doesn't display very many of the character flaws that help to humanize a fictional character. By contrast, Cargunka is himself the butt of several running gags about his obsessions with his personal appearance, poetry, and potatoes. It can't be known, of course, whether Hodgson might one day have written more stories featuring Cargunka. But by taking the most interesting aspects of his earlier recurring character stories and improving on them, while discarding aspects that didn't work well, Hodgson created a character that both succeeded in the two completed stories and had great potential for future work. Story Summaries The plot summary in this section is too long or detailed compared to the rest of the content. Please edit the article to focus on discussing the work rather than merely reiterating the plot. (September 2008) The Bells of the Laughing Sally The story begins on dry land, which is rather unusual for one of Hodgson's nautical stories. Cargunka is in his office, peeling potatoes. He is also admiring his carefully formed curls in a mirror, reading poems of Byron, and listening to a phonograph. The phonograph plays a recording, on a wax cylinder, of a mournful song about a lost ship, the "Laughing Sally." Cargunka imagines himself as the captain of a ship lost forever at sea as well, and jots down his own rhymes inspired by the music. The third stanza begins: The Laughing Sally sailed awayInto the Evermore that day,And the sound of her bells came back to meAcross the deep in the evening grey..." He is interrupted by Jensag, a barman in the Red Lyon, which connects to Cargunka's office. Jensag demands that Cargunka stop the music. They quarrel over the phonograph, and Jensag smashes it. Cargunka takes off his coat and invites Jensag into a larger room so that they can fight properly. Cargunka mutters to himself that a fist-fight is his usual manner for making a new friend. Although Cargunka has a size disadvantage, he handily defeats the barman, knocking him...(and so on) To get More information , you can visit some products about laundry products, drawer system, zero gravity massage chair, icom two way radio, baby snow boots, coarse salt, cross ornaments, doll baby stroller, radio install kits, acrylic watches, .
