while all but one Of his men
perished.
Marius' mother, who has
taken a drab. decaying house
on the waterfront, allowing
her son a room, stops talking
to him. and the widowed
daughter she dominates joins
in this ostracism. The younger
woman. though, breaks over
sometimes and tries to COM
fort and help her brother
when he stumbles back to his
room.
In the offices Of the biggest
shipping firm is a small clerk,
almost a dwarf, with a big
heart. He spends his spare
time working for a religious
society which tries to help
people, especially the down.
and-out. He follows Marius,
hoping to aid him, but MariuS,
tormented by delusions of per-
secution, runs away from him.
Nine. Marius, meanwhile.
talks to the parish priest, ex-
pressing a desire to enter with
her daughter a religious clois-
ter. The priest, after getting
the whole story, diScourages
her project and points out her
self1shness in turning away
from her son in his hour of
despair. But the old woman
is adamant, beyond softening.
The shadows gather about her
son.
It is ironical that Marius
finds more comfort and under
standing in the madam Of a
brothel and one of her prosti-
tutes than from his own fam
lily. Those women and the
devout little clerk do what
they can. Nine. Marius and
her daughter leave to seek
refuge in a distant convent.
Mr.. Hanley's lean, sinewy
prose is extremely effective.
His story, developing quietly,
is knowingly dramatic. The
characters all seem human
beings. even the dour, relent-
less old woman who hates her
son. The captain is a memoir
able portrait.
