A diarist recounts a perilous night aboard a steamer where walleted madness erupts. Wheeler, a delirious engineer, menacingly pursues a fellow officer with a cutlass amid eerie steerage tension. The narrator narrowly escapes, witnesses Wheeler’s collapse, and the crew deploys life buoys as the ship fights for order and safety.
