About

A Soul-Stirring Story of Perils and Passion at Sea Red-Blooded and Virile. As Powerful as the Raging Sea

Humphrey Van Weyden and Maud Brewster are rescued by a nearby ship when the ferry they're on is rammed and sinks. However, instead of dropping them off ashore, the ship's fearsome captain, the brutal Wolf Larsen, forces Humphrey to work as a cabin boy--and has other ideas for the pretty young Maud.
