The Tckety, little sharp-nosed dory
which gives the laugh TO whitecap and
wind, tie crazy little puff-puff brother
which Announces itself day and night
on amp old fishing ground between
Boston and the Boston lightship, or
Plymouth, where fish are TO be had,
and the big brother Of the whole fam

Their danicile is apparently more firm

THAT yhere is price to be paid for
all this goes without saying. The po-

believes that not he, but somebody
