520			_a"Strictly Business" by F. Morton Howard is a humorous fictional work written in the early 20th century. The narrative is set in a quaint seaside town and revolves around the crew of the ship "Jane Gladys" as they navigate the challenges of impending unemployment and personal entanglements. The main characters include Captain Peter Putt and his crew, who find themselves in a complicated situation following their ship owner's decision to sell the vessel. At the start of the story, the crew of the "Jane Gladys" returns to shore only to learn that their owner is selling the ship, which leaves them facing an uncertain future. As the crew grapples with their disappointment, Captain Putt receives a letter that delivers the grim news. The narrative quickly shifts to the cook, Horace Dobb, who launches into a scheme involving two women in town, Mrs. Goffley and her daughter Ann, to help Captain Gooster, the captain of a rival ship, in his matrimonial pursuits. This introduction sets the stage for a blend of humor, mistaken identities, and romantic escapades as the characters seek to secure their livelihoods while navigating their personal desires.
