About this book
On a Cornish fishing boat, seventeen-year-old Will sorts nets while Josh Helston shakes out the night's pilchard catch. Josh teases the lad about his courage while trying to teach him the judgment needed to handle a boat. Around them lies Peter Churchtown, a steep coastal settlement of granite cliffs, sheltered fishing craft and mines whose workings reach beneath the sea.
George Manville Fenn gives this juvenile adventure a strong sense of everyday coastal work. The talk moves from hauling nets to the difference between bravery and taking needless risks. Elsewhere, Dick Temple eagerly answers Will's invitation to bathe, while his brother Arthur fusses over clothes and the dangers of night air.
