SEA SKETCHES Sail and Oar. By Ernest Dade. J. I\l. Went and Sons Ltd. 199 pp. (7 S (id net.) This admirable little sketch book faithfully pictures the fisher folk of England, their boats, their tackle, customs, and the events of their romantic and industrious lives. Most of the drawings were made in the days before steam trawlers and drifters, in the days when fleets of picturesque sailing craft dotted the coves and harbours of England. Mr Dade gives us, too, glimpses of the fishing villages, with whitewashed cottages, thatched roofs, and all the charming surroundings of the seaedge. This is a book which will make an instant appeal to all those who are interested in the sea and ships.
