Book III of To The Ends Of The Earth. Edmund Talbot is a passenger - amongst others aboard ship - on his way to Australia. He's upper-crust - an administrator in His Majesty's service and he observes the 'lower' classes' - and such goings on amongst that riff-raff! A man who claims to be able to control nature using something he calls science; and a French Revolution sympthiser with a woman who MIGHT NOT be his wife; and boorish crude sailors...Talbot is the ultimate snob. And the decrepit man-of-war is on the last stretch of its voyage to Sydney, blown off course and battered by wind, storm and ice. Nothing but rope holds the disintegrating hulk together. After a risky operation to reset its foremast with red-hot metal, an unseen fire is smouldering below decks.
