Typhoon

Captain MacWhirr notices the barometer falling—but cannot read the danger in its warning. Around the Nan-Shan, the sea is calm, and a pale patch hangs in the sky like a halo.

The steamer is bound for Fu-chau, carrying two hundred Chinese workers home with all their savings locked in wooden chests. MacWhirr, a steady, unimaginative captain, has never needed to look beyond the day’s work; now the weather is turning, and his passengers, crew, and ship are in its path. The barometer has warned him. Will plain good sense be enough when the storm arrives?
