Excerpt from When the Cock Crows
The Captain was a woman-hater. This fact accounted for his Choosing to live as a hermit on the bit of sand, which he had grown to love. But that loneliness was a trial to Shrimp, who naturally desired a harem of his own. Many times, when the wind was from the mainland, Captain Icha bod had heard the far-away crow of a bam yard fowl, and had gravely and criticizingly listened as Shrimp returned the salute in lusty manner. He had seen the bird swell in rage, and his comb turn red in jealous envy of the other rooster on the mainland. Source: Publisher.
