A rollicking yarn of colonial times centered about the doughty figure of Captain Dixy Bull, pirate and terror of the Maine Coast.
Tremble At-Evil Tidd was a timorous tailor in Boston town in the days of the square riggers. For long it had been the chief diversion of this little man, as well as the means of escape from the tongue lashings of his vixenish wife, to read about the exploits of the buccaneers of the Spanish Main. And then suddenly, like a bolt out of the blue, circumstances conspired to thrust upon Tidd the glory of impersonating the swash-buckling Captain Dixy Bull, the terror of the Maine Coast. He is ready for the part and for a few mad months he plays it with a will. The result is a rattling good yarn with plenty of romantic coloring and full of life movement and fun.
