Master Ardick on the Industry is pressed into service as second mate after claiming his majority. A pursuing mysterious vessel is disabled by Industry guns. A death toll rises as Hoathwick and the captain fall. Ardick, Tym, and Sellinger flee Sidmouth, facing mutiny rumors and a desperate battle to survive at sea. The crew mutinies, Pradey's plotting is revealed, and a makeshift raft carries the survivors away.
The crew senses a shift in weather as a pale haze and darker northern seas gather. A wind veers north while the raft and long boat press on, dinner is shared cold with brandy, and night falls quiet yet tense as Captain and Mr Tym scan the western sea for signs.
