註釋"My mind and body were being tortured beyond their limits, my soul deprived of comfort." From the moment sea water overrides the pumps on a sinking ship, the fight for life begins. Faced with diminishing odds and imminent death, all people are tested to the depths of their souls and Mark Smith's story is no exception. As the days go by, the mind becomes contorted and twisted like the thrashing, breaking waves all around. Hunger infused thoughts throw all morals out the window. The body is crying out for food and it becomes all to easy to justify eating the man who lies next to you; consuming him if he dies, before his blood goes cold. Mark Smith is softly spoken; his voice is not the boom of a commanding captain. It is his calm approach that allows him to quietly take charge, coolly facing deadly situations at sea. Mark's ability to think clearly in times of chaos, combined with his astonishing will to live, helped him to defy death and ultimately save his life. An amazing story of survival, this book is a 'must read'. Everyone of us has to face a judgment day.
