About This Book
The old fisherman lets go young Pierre, and takes on good-hearted Paul Nevin to help with the morning's catch -- at long last, thinks Marie, the fisherman's daughter. For she has heard Pierre mouthing about the village as to how the fishing will be better and quicker, once he has it all to his own. Now Marie finds the spurned Pierre stealthily creeping up the island's rocky path -- butcher knife in hand!
