Eighty years, and barely a quiet one among them. Uncle Jethro's life runs from the deck to the shore and back again, a working man's tally of storms, hard passages, narrow escapes and stubborn labour, told in the plain nineteenth century manner where nothing needs inventing because there was never any shortage of the real thing.
