Description
The story begins with, Alden P. Ricks who was an individualist, but his friends in the wholesale timber and shipping trade described him as a character. He had been a cabin boy on one journey around Cape Horn, but other than running the Blue Star Navigation Company and occasionally travelling in first class, his experience at sea was little. In his later years, he was given a courtesy title because of his close familiarity with ships and the sailors who sail into the deep. Cappy Ricks had to manage a sizable amount of money in the wholesale lumber and shipping businesses. He was the owner of the Blue Star Navigation Company, which transported it by freight, and the Ricks Lumber and Logging Company, which sold a million feet of lumber every day. Every one of the thirty-plus boats in the Blue Star fleet has Cappy listed as the managing owner. Read Cappy Ricks to know the complete story.

Person
Peter B Kyne was born on October 12, 1880 in San Francisco to John Kyne and Mary Cresham. Peter B. Kyne was one of the best creative writers, for both novels and short stories, in American Literature. He went to business college with the goal to help people at the farm, but his professors noticed his skill for writing and advised him to become a writer.After doing a lot of jobs, Kyne lied about his age and joined the military. After leaving the military, Kyne again got a few suggestions for doing the job, and in 1905 got employed as a reporter in San Francisco Morning Call. He has been writing short stories and started publishing them after getting married in 1910, and also often in some major magazines of the day, for example, Collier's and The Saturday Evening Post. Kyne's first novel, "The Three Godfathers", was published in 1913, where he got major success. It was also made into a few movies, the most popular was featuring John Wayne (3 Godfathers (1948)). Most of his short stories and novels were converted into movies and during the 1930s people over their having thought that it was difficult to go into a theatre and not see a film based on Kyne's story. He likewise also worked on the screenplays of a few of the movies based on his books. In 1940, his last book was published, "Dude woman".
