When Captain Nielsen needed a Third Mate at the
beginning of the voyage, Larsen had been selected
among the crew members for the captain saw at a glance
the cut of the man’s jib. He knew this Dane would
be the best of them all. First Mate waited for him at the
mast-rail. Larsen came across the ship’s deck to stand
within hailing distance. Heaving deck made him grab
a rigging line for balance. Bergen made an arm
movement for Larsen to come closer. First Mate’s cupped
hands were a bull horn to his mouth against the
roaring wind.“Check the hold. See if we’re taking
on water. Make sure the tea’s not shifting.”
