The Crew of the Water Wagtail

The Water Wagtail left Bristol for Norway with forty sailors gathered during a season when reliable crews were scarce. I care less what waits beyond the horizon than whether Paul Burns means to face it beside me. You step into this one-chapter preview with Paul Burns at the center, where choices turn on the people, promises, and pressure already in the room. No one aboard yet knew whether the cry had found Newfoundland or something else entirely. The chapter closes on a continuation question rather than resolving the novel's larger arc.
