Once becalmed, sailors had to throw a lot of stuff overboard to get back in gear, even as desperate a move as getting rid of their most valuable cargo---horses---in a totally calm sea. In this story we begin a desperate race for a beautiful woman by a husband dead set to redeem her. On the way is a colorful cast of characters and a good story. Signed by Author.
