The story is narrated by Fred Spenlove, the chief engineer on the ship (a position McFee himself had held on several ships) - ironical, observant, philosophical, always disguising a romantic loyalty and generosity under a manner of intense reserve and skepticism. The theme is the love of Frank Fraley, a seaman, and Francine, a Norman peasant girl, Ôbound together by an invincible passion, destined to tear one anotherÕs hearts.Õ Tragedy is implicit from the first, because, as Spenlove, the narrator, says, ÔFrank was a man of the sea who was unfitted for life on the land. . . . He found Francine on the sea, and he should have lived with her on the sea'."
