The Irishman's in trouble.
It was no night to be out in the water, but it was an unwritten law in Trinity.
If one of us is in trouble, we all are.
I drank down the shot of rum I had but left the ale where it sat.
The sea was going to be rough enough without having sour beer rolling in my gut.
I went with a crowd to the dock and peered through the wind and spray.
How far out?
Someone asked.
Just past the Narrows, floundering, can hold on the port side.
We'll need four boats at least.
The long row boats normally took eight men, but we had to leave room for bringing the Irishman and his crew if need be.
We set out five boats with four men in each rowing hard into a headwind
and swell that threatened to send us as far back as forward with every stroke.
It wasn't the first time I'd been out in such conditions, but it was the first attempt at rescuing a big whaler such as the Dubliner.
I knew they'd been out for three weeks and guessed they might have even had a catch aboard.
Their weight, the weather and the sheer number of crew loomed large on my mind.
I tried to ignore the increasing pain and tiredness from rowing, but I knew it was only the start of the evening's trials.
By the time we reached the Narrows, we were all spent.
Matters weren't held much when the lead boat capsized.
They were too far away from us to help them, but I saw clearly enough that all four men made it ashore.
