Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Partners of the Tide" by Joseph Crosby Lincoln is a novel written in the early 20th century. Set in a Cape Cod village, it follows orphan Bradley Nickerson as he is taken in by the precise, well-meaning Allen sisters, while the bold Captain Ezra Titcomb and the spirited neighbor girl Gus Baker pull him toward the wider, rough-and-ready life of the shore. It’s a warm small‑town tale of coming-of-age, loyalty, and community expectations. The opening of Partners of the Tide introduces Bradley’s arrival in a winter storm, the town’s gossip about the “old maids” adopting him, and his stagecoach ride with the affable Captain Titcomb to the Allens’ spotless home. We see Bradley’s awkward first night and morning, Titcomb’s tactful gifts and help outfitting him, and locals debating the Captain’s “smart” reputation. Bradley meets Gus Baker—the “dog girl”—and her unruly pack, leading to a school fiasco when a dog hides in the closet, chaos erupts, and Bradley is punished again after a playground fight with teaser Sam Hammond. At home he faces the sisters’ stern disapproval until Gus bursts in to take the blame; even after the Captain counsels patience and obedience, Bradley remains torn, quietly choosing loyalty to Gus over a promise to shun her.
