The article presents information about a adventure story of the character captain McCullers. With an almost palpable, yet instantaneous, clang, the sun left the sea and dominated the disinterested heaven. There seemed to be no interval between that event and the assertion of itself upon the poopdeck of what at first appeared to be a solid marmoreal column and was then revealed as a line of clean, laundered, shining, liberty bound gobs. Out of fifty individual souls emboned and bemuscled in disciplined flesh, the relentless routine of the fleet had created one of those ordered masses which men call crews.
