Captain of the Drifted Boat and the Loyal Dog Jackson

A first person survivor recounts surviving a shipwreck with a small crew and a fierce black mate named Hal Wescott. The narrator asserts leadership, rationed water and wine, and careful control while incurring a deadly act to save the group. After days adrift they are picked up and eventually reunite with a loyal dog named Jackson, whom the narrator refuses to part from. The tale shifts to a later voyage aboard a brig, where Jackson demonstrates unwavering devotion during peril at sea as the narrator recalls the dog’s role and bond.
