An aging sea captain recalls the voyage that shaped his spirit: a leaky coal ship, fire in the hold, storms, delays, and the stubborn hope of a green young officer. In the chaos of machinery and sea, he remembers the reckless confidence of early manhood and how one disastrous journey forged it into lasting courage he still treasures.
