Excerpt from The Kelp-Gatherers: A Story of the Maine Coast
They were about the age Of their neighbors and playmates, Oliver Bardeen (commonly called Olly), who lived just across two farms from them when he was at home, and Percival Bucklin (familiarly known as Perce), who lived still nearer, on the other side.
These four boys are the three heroes of our story, counting the twins as one, and they come into it on a certain afternoon late in August, just after a great storm had swept over the new-england coast.
Uncle Moses Porter - uncle of the twins on the mother's side: an Odd and very shabby old bachelor - comes into it at the same time, but doesn't get in very far. It would be hard to make a hero of him.
