Willie King Cleverly Evades Pursuit and Returns

In a coastal brig tale, Captain Beeman and Major Topp quarrel over Willie King’s fate after he allegedly drowns. Ruth searches the sunken sloop, while Willie survives by swimming and hiding under a brig’s stern, later stealing a rescue boat unseen. The pursuit turns to a cautious retreat as truth and escape intertwine.
