Vicious skirmish tale ends with rescue and injury
A dramatic passage recounts a raid where Knapp captures prisoners after a battle at sea. Boles is mortally wounded, Knapp grieves, and the crew lands the captives. The narrator learns Manila is near, declines profit, and reflects on the sea's call. A second vignette contrasts a recruit with a hardened veteran in a Philippine skirmish.
