Nowadays, however, her population is swelled by summer tourists, who find the picturesque streets and inlets irresistible. Of course, to the man and boy in John Clymer's nippy scene the smell of salt air and cod signifies not quaintness but a vocation which is challenging and compelling . . . and has taken the lives of 10,000 men of Gloucester. Here live the counterparts of the hearties who sailed in Kipling's Captains Courageous and Longfellow's The Wreck of the Hesperus. "Some day, lad," the captain on our cover may be saying, "I'll tell you of the valiant skipper of the Hesperus, who lashed his daughter to a mast one stormy winter's night off Gloucester, when 'the snow fell hissing in the brine."
