Every Man For Himself

By: Duncan, Norman

The harbor lights were out; all the world of sea and sky and barren rock was black. It was Saturday-long after night, the first snow flying in the dark. Half a gale from the north ran whimpering through the rigging, by turns wrathful and plaintive-a restless wind: it would not leave the night at ease. The trader Good Samaritan lay at anchor in Poor Man's Harbor on the Newfoundland coast: this on her last voyage of that season for the shore fish. We had given the schooner her Saturday night bath; she was white and trim in every part: the fish stowed, the decks swabbed, the litter of goods in the cabin restored to the hooks and shelves. The crew was in the forecastle-a lolling, snoozy lot, now desperately yawning for lack of diversion.
