''The Tides of Barnegat is a romance spanning a twenty year period from 1854 until 1874, with a highly melodramatic final chapter involving the newly organized U.S. Life-Saving Service in a tragic ship wreck... This scene of high drama comes as the resolution of a tightly constructed novel by a remarkable man.'' — from the Introduction by John Bailey Lloyd.

 Out of print for more than half a century, the text and original illustrations are carefully reproduced here in a lovely reprint of this classic 1906 seashore novel by F. Hopkinson Smith. In a Victorian style capturing the gentle ebbing and the fierce moods of the ocean and personalities of the people living along its shores, Smith's novel is a rich portrait of its era along the coast.

It ''makes you yearn for the time when things such as honor and duty and responsibility and commitment were actually taken seriously,'' said one reviewer.

The novel follows two sisters, Jane and Lucy Cobden. Jane, the older by ten years, had vowed alongside her father's deathbed to raise and protect Lucy. When Lucy returns from boarding school in Philadelphia, Jane gives her younger sister all she desires with a caring hand, but does not find in Lucy the same forthright and dutiful character that she possesses. Misled by her love, Jane protects Lucy at the expense of her own life's happiness and a marriage to a man who loves her.

The fictional setting uses many landmarks and locations that suggest Barnegat Light and the mainland adjacent to Long Beach Island N.J., although Smith has altered the landscape to benefit the narrative.

An added introduction by Long Beach Island historian John Bailey Lloyd explains some of the peculiarities of the novel, as well as keying the reader in to what is below the surface of all the strident virtue — strength commingled with human weakness. Mr. Lloyd provides a fascinating look at the author, a remarkable man who was a marine engineer, builder of lighthouses, writer, and fine artist.

This is a complete quality reprinting of the original book, not a print-on-demand facsimile edition, including the 12 original illustrations by George Wright. The softcover edition cover features a commissioned original oil painting by Jersey Shore artist Marilyn Ganss.

Nice toy for dogs but my dog didn't like it
Color: 3 Pack Spiky Balls
It appears quite appealing with its varied colors. My only concern is that my dog did not seem to enjoy it, as it frequently slipped from its mouth when attempting to carry it during play time. While it is soft, but it is not as pliable as some of the other squeaky toys my dog has owned. I think because of the spikes stlyle. This might be an excellent choice for highly active and young dogs. My dog is older and tends to be quite particular about toys.

Loves the ball inside the toy
My dogs love these toys, they especially like when they tear the toy open and they get the ball that’s inside the red sack. They carry the red Sox in that ball around for days before actually tearing the ball out of the sack. If you sold the balls inside the red Sacks, I would buy them. I don’t know why they love it so much but they do all three of my dogs. These are the best priced and best dog toys I have found.

Good news and bad news
Color: Multi-colored
My Westie LOVES these toys. She is obsessed. You need to know, going in, that the squeakers last about 15 minutes and then they are dead. Out of a dozen of these toys, it's happened every time. That's the bad news. The good news is that the toys are light weight and durable enough to endure tug of war. You can toss them in the house with little fear of breaking anything they might hit. The little rubber nubs seem to encourage chewing and our vet says that my dog has beautiful teeth because these toys act as a toothbrush for her. I would say most terriers are active and heavy chewers and so far none of these toys have been destroyed by her chewing. So if your dog will continue to play fetch even though the (beloved) squeaker is dead, these are great toys. Look for the multi packs like this one. The individually sold toys are much more expensive per unit than buying a bag of toys like this offering and the toys are exactly the same.

Chewy crazy dog's favorite toy
My dog LOVES these. While he gets to the ball pretty quick, it's the only thing he doesn't destroy with his chewing habit. He's a 100lb 3 y.o. black lab.
