The men clambered up to the point and waved.

I knew they had a long, wet walk ahead of them to get back to the warmth of a tavern.

But I couldn't waste time worrying, as I too had to fight the waves and crosswind that threatened to send us towards the same fate.

I was so busy concentrating on keeping us upright and moving forward that I was nearly thrown from my seat as the prow hit something hard.

I turned to yell an oath at the other sailors, but my words were lost as I looked up and saw the massive bulk of the Dubliner looming over us.

I helped Roberts and Gallagher, two old friends, tie our boat to the Dubliner.

We helped the other three boats so that we were all arranged in a line along the keel on this starboard side, protected from the wind.

Then I started to worry.

I expected someone topside to acknowledge our presence.

Instead, all I heard was the whistling wind and the crashing of the waves.

Ahoy aboard!

Roberts called out.

He had a bellow like a foghorn.

We waited for a reply, but none came.

Nothing good had happened on the whaler, and I wasn't at all sure any good was going to come out of us investigating further.

But as the saying goes, if one is in trouble, we all are.

When Roberts clambered out of the rowboat and head on to the Dubliner, I was second in line, with Gallagher at my heels.

As I climbed, I steeled myself for the sights to come.

I'd seen plenty of men smashed to no more than broken puppets by the fall storms, and expected that more of the same fate awaited us on deck.

I climbed over the gunwales and stood beside Roberts.
