Stormalong was a big baby: he outgrew his cradle in a week; he had to sleep in the barn because the house was too small; at two he was taller thatn the church steeple; his hammock stretched from one state to another.
Stormalong earned money to build his ship: when he carried fish from ships to shore
Stormalong didn't need a crew; he cold do everything a hundred seamen could do and faster.
Stormalong rescued ships and sailors from a Caribbean hurricane; he swam through towering waves; he piled up boats on the deck of the Colossus; he swam to land with the anchor in his teeth.
