Présentation de l'éditeur

In hours of enforced inactivity my thoughts turn to early days, and to the associations connected with kindred and friends. Born on the Jersey shore, the sea always possessed for me an unfailing charm. From the east veranda of my home, we could every night watch the flash of the great lighthouse lamp as it sent its friendly rays far over the breakers which gave the name to inlet, bay, and village Barende-gat, from theD utch, meaning Breakers I nlet, In imagination, I revisit the islands and beaches for wild fowl, and sail the channels and creeks for blue fish, weak fish, sheepshead, striped bass, barb, and sea bass. A gain I frolic with boy companions in the beautiful grove west of the school house, its great oaks and pines standing almost clear from underbrush, making it a very paradise for children, birds and squirrels. My father was a carpenter and builder. He was industrious, self-respecting, honorable and prosperous. He was always public spirited and held many offices of trust, beside serving two terms in theL egislature. For many years he was a local preacher. Being possessed of an agreeable voice and native eloquence, added to an ingratiating manner, his services were much in demand.
