"He drinks up about all he earns, and there's little enough left for us. I hope you won't follow in his steps, Robert." "You may be sure I won't, Aunt Jane," said the boy, nodding emphatically. "I wouldn't drink a glass of rum for a hundred dollars." "God keep you in that resolution, my dear boy! I don't want my sister's son to go to destruction as my husband is doing." My story opens in a small fishing village on the coast of one of the New England States. Robert Coverdale, whom I have briefly introduced, is the young hero whose fortunes I propose to record.
