Excerpt from Tales of the Maine Coast That part of the saline shore of Fairport which lies between Jarvis's and Perkins's wharves, sweeping inward with a flattened curve a scant eighth of a mile, was and is known as Oakum Bay. There were the sailor boarding houses, there the coasting and fishing schooners of the port were beached for submarine repairs, and there was the wide-doored boat-house where three or four old women sat in the sun spinning into yarn the oakum picked from ropes and cables that had been weathered by gales off Cape Horn, bleached in the fiery suns of India and the South Pacific or mildewed by the everlasting fogs of the Grand Banks. Were they endowed with power of speech, full many a tale of perilous adventure might these frag ments of rigging tell as they ignobly passed into their last estate of plebeian oakum to calk withal the seams of the humble craft of the port.

Excerpt from A Case of Sardines: A Story of the Maine Coast To which there could be but one answer; and if it finds and fulfils its place and purpose it may mean more. Repeated in memory and conversations its im pressions have deepened in the mind of the writer for whom the scenes have an abiding charm, and who holds in genial thought and warm regard the people of Down East. Gratitude also insists that the influence of these scenes and lives be sent out into the world. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Kelp-Gatherers: A Story of the Maine Coast They were about the age Of their neighbors and playmates, Oliver Bardeen (commonly called Olly), who lived just across two farms from them when he was at home, and Percival Bucklin (familiarly known as Perce), who lived still nearer, on the other side. These four boys are the three heroes of our story, counting the twins as one, and they come into it on a certain afternoon late in August, just after a great storm had swept over the new-england coast. Uncle Moses Porter - uncle of the twins on the mother's side: an Odd and very shabby old bachelor - comes into it at the same time, but doesn't get in very far. It would be hard to make a hero of him. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Pearl of Orr's Island: A Story of the Coast of Maine A clear blue eye, evidently practised in habits of keen observation, white hair, bronzed, weather-beaten cheeks, and a face deeply lined with the furrows of shrewd thought and anxious care, were points of the portrait that made themselves felt at a glance.

Excerpt from The Coast of Maine and Other Verses The coast of Maine is something besides the bleak rocks and flying spray usually pictured, for in addition to these there are plenty of smil ing fields and sunny skies. A little more than ten years ago, in order to escape the slavery incident to office work in a city, I secured a small farm in this beautiful locality and the years spent here have convinced me that for any one who enjoys work with the hands out of doors it is practically impossible to find any place in which to live that is more delight ful throughout the year than this Maine coast country.
