THE SEASHORE BOOK The Seashore Book - Bob and Betty's Summer With Captain Hawes Story and Pictures By E. Boyd Smith
This is a beautiful story of how Bob and Betty spent the summer at the seashore with Captain Ben Hawes. Captain Hawes was an old sailor, after forty years' service on the high seas had settled down ashore at Quohaug. [With no end of sea yarns and stories of strange adventures, and of foreign ports and peoples, he was more interesting to the children than the most fascinating fairy book. His home was a little museum of odds and ends brought from different far-away lands, with everything arranged in shipshape order. The big green parrot, who could call "Ship ahoy!" "All aboard!" delighted the boy and girl. And the seashells, which gave the murmuring echo of the ocean when you put them to your ear. And the curiosities of strange sorts and shapes, from outlandish countries. As their first day was fine and the bay smooth, Captain Hawes took the children out for a row in his "sharpey." How delightful it was, skimming so easily over the shining water.
Finding them such good listeners, for the Captain liked to tell about ships and the see. "Now, I want you to know all about boats and ships," he added; "I'll take you to the yards to-morrow, if it's fine, and show you how they make them, so that when you go back home, where they don't know much about such things, you can just tell them."
