23424. McCue, James Westaway. SEA FEVER. Silver Lake. 1944
23424. McCue, James Westaway. SEA FEVER. Silver Lake . 1944. 96p. Sea Fever is a collection of short stories, based almost entirely on true and personal experience. The author’s father was a physician on Cape Cod in the early days of the century. The life of a country doctor and his family was often devoid of personal privacy and regular hours, and such was the situation for thirty years. One of the doctor’s most famous cases was attending to the wounded from American shipping sunk by a German U-boat off Orleans in 1918. This account helps to bring alive the life of a sailor, his hopes, his troubles and his moments of happiness. The author went off to sea at the age of sixteen on his uncle’s schooner and came to know what the elements can do to harden a man. True account, well worth reading. With attractive comer image of a lonely surfman walking beach patrol, lantern in hand. Clean, tight, light cover soiling. (VG). $26.
