A marine engineer begins his watch aboard a ship in wartime Salonika, listening to the machinery before joining the working life of the vessel. William McFee follows the rhythms of the engine room, the talk of the crew and the sights and sounds of the harbor.
An aircraft’s arrival interrupts the routine, while memories of home and thoughts of a future peace accompany the passing hours. The seven short chapters bring the shift to its close without turning away from the details of seafaring work. This complete 1920 book edition retains the earlier 1917 copyright notice.
