In the darkest hour of an 1883 night, the brig Sunshine lay without wind on the Indian Ocean. The reef points tapping the sails make even this delay sound peaceful, Father. You step into this one-chapter preview with Captain David Roy at the center, where choices turn on the people, promises, and pressure already in the room. Every man answers; now I can place hands without wondering who lies beneath the gear. The chapter closes on a continuation question rather than resolving the novel's larger arc.
