A teenage boy joins the fish patrol on San Francisco Bay with his older partner Charley, enforcing fishing laws against poachers who will fight, sail and swim to escape. They raid oyster pirates, besiege a ship at anchor and match wits with Greek, Italian and Chinese fishermen, whose portraits carry the ethnic attitudes of 1905.
Seven fast stories drawn from London’s own youth on the bay, for readers who like sailing and adventure. Download the free EPUB.
