The Sea-Wolf Author:Jack London Shipwrecked! One minute you are on a peaceful holiday, on a ferry crossing San Francisco Bay. Then there is a crash in the fog - a daring rescue - and you wake up waterlogged on the deck of a schooner under full sail. "Turn around and take me back to land!" you say. "I'll make it worth your while." The captain of the Sea Wolf just laughs. "We're... more » on our way to the arctic to kill seals," he says. "And I'm short one man." He points to a corpse on the deck. He throws you some rags. And puts you to work. And you are about to find out what it's like to be a slave to the cruelest master on the high seas...
