Cappy Ricks

Alden P. Ricks, known as "Cappy," is a weather beaten old sea dog devoted to his daughter; underneath the rough exterior is a heart of gold. His obsession is Matt Peasley, first mate of one of his vessels, and he ships him with Captain Ole Peterson, a veritable sea wolf, with instructions to put Matt through and cure him of his alleged "freshness." When the ship returns from the voyage, Cappy finds Matt in command after having beaten the surly Captain. From that time on, Matt proceeds to outgeneral the Captain and win the hand of the Captain's daughter.
