Excerpt from Neptune's SonCaptain Nathaniel sat up straighter and smiled, for he heard a whistle he knew coming up the street. Then the whistler himself appeared in view, a tall, slim boy of sixteen or seventeen, in blue ¿annel shirt and khaki trousers. He waved his hand to the captain, and jumping over the low picket fence, strode up to the porch. Hello, Cap'n, he said, the custom officers just came on board and left you this newspaper.Captain Burgess took the paper and fixed his spectacles on his nose, while his grandson sprawled on the edge of the porch, his back against a post. Presently he drew a small block of wood and a knife from his pocket and continued his carving of a Chinese dragon.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
