Description: Here is Mr. Pratt again-the jolly old Cape Cod fisherman, who manages to have more ludicrous adventures than a dozen ordinary mortals, and who tells about them in a breezy, salty fashion that is delicious. In this story Mr. Pratt by chance anchors his dory off the grounds of the Sea Breeze Bluff Sanitarium for Right Living and Rest. Almost immediately he finds himself standing kneedeep in water carrying a "hefty' squirming madien lady, while a bulldog menaces him from the shore, and a bibulous man in a rowboat threatens to cut the anchor of his dory should he try to return. However, Mr. Pratt is just the man to come out of such a situation with colours flying, and it gets him a job as handy man at the santitarium. And then the fun really begins.
