Neil Munro 
In Highland Harbours with Para Handy 

In Highland Harbors with Para Handy by Neil Munro is the story of Irish ship captain Para Handy and his mischievous band of Irish seamen. Neil and his gang get into hijinks on this lovely boat adventure. Excerpt: ‘The s.s. Texa made a triumphal entry to the harbor by steaming in between two square-rigged schooners, the Volant and Jehu, of Wick, and slid silently, with the exactitude of long experience, against the piles of Rothesay quay, where Para Handy sat on a log of wood.’
