By MARY HEATON VORSE "Clever! Sparkling! Full of quaint humor and crisp description! Altogether a book which will not disappoint the reader. It is 'different,' and that is one great merit in a book."--_Brooklyn Eagle_. "It will puzzle holiday makers to find a better vacation book than this. Those who go up and down the Sound in yachts will find it especially pleasing; it will appeal to those who are fond of human nature studies; may be recommended even more decidedly to the serious than to the young and frivolous; a tonic to depression and an antidote to gloom."--_N. Y. Times_. "Charming, with its salt, sea-slangy flavor, its double love thread, and its pleasant chapters dealing with Long Island Sound, the Mediterranean, Massachusetts Bay and Venetian lagoons."--_Chicago Record-Herald_.
