But the captain he was from Provincetown, Cape Cod, and he went straight to business.
Seven extra mouths sat down to breakfast: A Swede; a Chatham skipper; a boy from Hancock, Maine; one Duxbury, and three Provincetown men. There was a general sorting out among the Fleet next day; and though no one said anything, all ate with better appetites when boat after boat reported full crews aboard.
The conductor laughed. "Guess you're right," he said. "This is about as wet a storm as I've run through since I've been on the road. If we get to Provincetown without a washout we'll be lucky.... Well, we've made another hitch. So far, so good." The brakeman swung open the door to shout, "Denboro!
"I made my skiff's painter fast to a cleat on the launch and climbed aboard. 'Gasoline? says I. 'Gasoline? Why, yes; I've got some gasoline over on my power-boat out yonder. Has yours give out?

TONY: A woman she makes things pretty. This not like a place where a woman live. On the floor there is nothing on the wall there is nothing. There ain't nothin' to see. And I know the woman that works for her's crazy Allie Mayo. She's a Provincetown girl. She was all right once, but
