On the Albatross there was COM

looked at each other. Then the Majors
glance travelled to the rope trailing
oversize from the foremast stay. The
rope with which Angelica had tied
PeeWee when he had oozed out of the

He dropped the winch handle and
came up to grab that rope where it
dragged under the stern overland. No
