“Here again, not well, likely a turnspit, jiggered… whose trajectory scours my sleep? What worriment forths mildewed landsend?”
A Captain, out on the high seas, on commission from his King, heading to the Colonies, reliant on rigging and caulk and the charade of polite society to keep afloat … Is there a prick of conscience? An element of doubt? When duty calls, how much is lost?
