About this book


A spoiled youth falls from an ocean liner and ends up on a North Atlantic fishing schooner. The captain takes him aboard for the season. The boy must share in the work of hauling lines and dressing fish. He shares quarters with men who have spent their lives on the water. The schooner follows the fish across the banks. Storms and calms mark the passage of weeks. The youth observes the skills and codes that govern the crew. In time he adjusts to the demands of this new existence.
