I prepped a copy of Escape Agents a couple of months back - I hadn't proofed it so didn't put a copy on MR.
Mine is the same as yours - just six stories. I thought I got it from Archive.org but can't find it there so am not sure of my source. However most of the references I have found say that the stories were first published in Pearsons Magazine in 1906. This suggests they were published separately.
I think a compilation of the six was published about 1911 but why it should contain a "Kettle" is unclear.
