“There is a small boat in the sea,” shouted Kelly, a sealer. There were five people in the boat. Four men and a woman! A very beautiful woman! The men on the schooner were delighted to have a woman on the ship… including Wolf Larsen. “Our ship sank last night in a typhoon,” said Maud Brewster, the young woman. “Thank you for saving us,” she said to the captain.
“Not at all,” Wolf replied. “Look at those clouds,” said Holyoak, one of the sailors. “There is going to be3 a terrible storm!”
Holyoak was right! There was rain and wind for several days and the sea was very rough. The schooner rocked up and down and a lot of water came in the ship. “’The Ghost’ is going to capsize!” shouted the sailors. “We must leave the ship quickly.”
