| Abstract | This simple story by Arthur Nelson tells of the ill-fated fishing vessel, "Francis." While at sea fishing for salmon the ship encounters a storm and the entire crew is stranded for ten days before being rescued by a passing ship. While stranded the men face limited rations and cold weather conditions but are kept alive and safe thanks to their Captain, Ethan (presumably the Nelson brothers' fictional hero, Ethan Allen). |
