Humphrey works three days rebuilding a windlass and rigging aboard Wolf Larsen's schooner while Maud worries over the captain. Larsen feigns weakness to seize Humphrey, but Maud and Humphrey thwart him as he collapses and is restrained by desperation and quick action.
The narrator and Maud secure Wolf Larsen after a violent assault aboard. Maud weeps in relief as the narrator declares their bond and moves to confine the antagonist, freeing himself with renewed sense of purpose and closeness to Maud as they walk the deck toward the foremast.
