CAPTAIN CY PROVES DELINQUENT A week isn't a very long time even in Bayport.

True, there was once a drummer for a Boston "notion" house who sprained his ankle on the icy sidewalk in front of Simmons's, and was therefore obliged to remain in the front bedroom of the perfect boarding house for seven whole days.

He is quoted as saying that next time he hoped he might break his neck.
"Brother," asked the shocked Rev.Mr.Daniels, who was calling upon the stranger, "are you prepared to face eternity ?" "What ?" was the energetic reply.

"After a week in this town, and in this bedroom?
Look here, Mister, if you want to scare me about the future you just hint that they'll put me on a straw tick in an ice chest.

Anything hot and lively 'll only be tempting after this." But to us, who live here throughout the year, a week soon passes.
