After that he helped in his father's store, ushered at the village theatre, bought himself a saxophone. Shrewd, he taught himself fine points of technique...

It was not the problems of Prohibition that kept him awake, however, but rough seas in the Bahamas whither he had cruised aboard the yacht Vagabondia.
