Description
Excerpt from Out of Gloucester
These deep-sea fishermen, in their heartiness of hospitality, are the chosen of the Lord. With them, the best in the locker is ever ready for the caller, be he castaway stranger, chance acquaint ance, or cherished friend. Of the ways of their mates all fishermen are, of course, aware. And so,''when two, who had been mildly celebrating ashore, dropped into their dory at the end of a long, planked dock, and set out in the direction of the harbor lights in Provincetown this night, it is likely that they were anticipating an agreeable finish to their evening. It was only midnight and there were yet some cheering hours to sun-up, when, by skippers'' orders, the seining ?eet would be standing out to sea again.
