THREE OLD FISHERMEN OF VOLLENDAM 



Many of you who have visited Holland will recall these picturesque old Salts of 

 Vollendam, who will pose for your camera, spin yarns of their terrible experiences on the 

 treacherous North Sea nearly a century ago, or steer you around their quaint little village, 

 as it may suit your fancy. Their line old rugged faces, transformed by the salt winds of 

 many winters into veritable maps traced on parchment, always attract artists and lovers of 

 the characteristic; but if you let them spin their yarns of the sea for an hour or so, you 

 will go on your way wondering whether all fishermen are liars or if only liars fish.
