He was educated at Dulwich College between 1894 and 1900, and in 1900 he entered the employ of the Hong Kong & Shanghai bank at £80 per year. He began writing articles for various newspapers and periodicals. In 1902 he resigned from the bank, and in the same year his first novel The Pothunters was published.
