During the months when navigation was closed Captain Jim's office was a sinecure.
"The First Mate and I will have nothing to do till spring except keep warm and amuse ourselves.

The First Mate might get poisoned or chewed up by dogs at the Glen.

It's a mite lonely, to be sure, with neither the light nor the water for company, but if our friends come to see us often we'll weather it through." Captain Jim had an ice boat, and many a wild, glorious spin Gilbert and Anne and Leslie had over the glib harbor ice with him.
