Fair Harbor is a novel by Joseph Crosby Lincoln. Lincoln was an American writer of novels, rhymes and short stories. Excerpt: "The old white horse-like the whisk broom and the Rogers group, a part of the furniture of the General Minot place-plodded along the dusty road and the blue truck-wagon rolled and rattled behind him. Captain Kendrick, settling his invalid limbs in the most comfortable fashion, lay back upon the seaweed and stared at the sky...

Here is Mr. Pratt again-the jolly old Cape Cod fisherman, who manages to have more ludicrous adventures than a dozen ordinary mortals, and who tells about them in a breezy, salty fashion that is delicious.

"The road from Wellmouth Centre to East Wellmouth is not a good one; even in dry weather and daylight it is not that. For the first two miles it winds and twists its sandy way over bare hills, with cranberry swamps and marshy ponds in the hollows between. Then it enters upon a three-mile stretch bordered with scrubby pines and bayberry thickets, climbing at last a final hill to emerge upon the bluff with the ocean at its foot. And, fringing that bluff...

It is queer, but Captain Cy himself doesn't remember whether the day was Tuesday or Wednesday. Asaph Tidditt's records ought to settle it, for there was a meeting of the board of selectmen that day, and Asaph has been town clerk in Bayport, since the summer before the Baptist meeting house burned. But on the record the date, in Asaph's handwriting, stands "Tuesday, May 10, 189-" and, as it happens, May 10 of that year fell on Wednesday, not Tuesday...
