Book Excerpt: 
. . .He wished them an unctuous good-evening. The oily smoothness of Mr. Saunders' voice cannot be described with plain pen and ink; it gurgled with sweetness, like molasses poured from a jug. This was not a special tone put on for the occasion; no one except his wife ever heard him speak otherwise.

The response from the three captains was not enthusiastic, but Mr. Saunders continued to talk of the weather, the fishing, and the cranberry crop until a customer came and gave them a chance to get away.

"Slick! slick! slick!" commented Captain Eri, as they hurried along. "Blessed if he don't pretty nigh purr. I like a cat fust-rate, but I'm always suspicious of a cat-man.

A fun book

A fun and light read. Likeable charters and fast chapters. It was long enough for the crazy days in early spring

I have a complete hard cover collection of all of Joseph Lincoln's books but have decided to re-read them in electronic versions. This is the oldest. They are all Cape Cod stories and I especially like reading them when I am on or near the Cape.

My parents collect Joseph Lincoln books - fun retro read. Kind of "Bobbsey Twins" meets grumpy old fishermen. Michael Mailer (Norman's son) did an independent film of this book, has two titles: "Chatham" & something like "The Golden Boys".

Picked it up on a lark and ended up getting pulled into the story.
Most interesting is the colorful picture of life on Cape Cod in the early 20th century. Its an easy read with some charming characters.

3* A fun old novel about 3 retired sea captains keeping house together. Finally they draw straws that one of them should get a wife because the housekeeping is not working. All manner of awkward situations ensue. A pleasant read.

This is another interesting novel by Joseph C. Lincoln.
It is a romance with funny misunderstandings and just enough action to keep you wanting to read more.

The book was published in 1904 so the language is difficult to read; meaning this book is FAR from politicaly correct by today's standards. It is a really good story with interesting characters and a good, solid ending. I wanted to read more about these characters, but all of his books have differen

A really fun read.
