Présentation de l'éditeur :
The auxiliary yacht Kittiwake was cruising westward through the Bering fog. Heeled to the starboard, under help of sail as well as steam, with the horn bellowing at five-minute intervals she slipped uneasily through the waves, her lurching, wet bowsprit feeling the way ahead Uke a blind mans cane tapping a path through invisibility. Somewhere behind lay the Pribilof I slands; somewhere beyond lay the headland of Kamchatka. Between lay a thousand miles of sea; a sea of uncharted reefs and mysterious currents; of winds eternally blowing; an icy, desolate, inhospitable sea, its ugly waters revealed only in smoking patches when the fog sometimes tried to lift It was mid-afternoon by the bell. It might as well have been midnight, in so far as the fiction of daylight profited the helmsman. He gazed off across the rim of the wheel, steering mainly by the feel of the spokes, seeing nothing beyond the anchor davits and the broad, oilskin-clad back of the lookout on the bow. Occasionally some other member of the crew teetered forth across the slippery planks, drifted past like an uncertain ghost, and vanished into the mist, fore or aft, as business called. Otherwise the deck was left to the weather.
