註釋The days of high octane forays ashore have mellowed Jeffrey Bloxham. Now Chief Officer of the Welland, a cargo ship sailing to South America, his promotion to Captain is long overdue. Who or what is holding him back? His wife, Linda and eleven year old son, Tom are asking the same question. And why is Tom truanting from school?

This voyage there are three passengers. Two elderly sisters dodging the English winter and a young widow grieving the loss of her pilot husband. She has lured him into her space and Jeff is powerless.

On arrival Guayaquil the Captain suffers a heart attack and Jeff is instructed to take command and sail the Welland back to Southampton but during the transit of the Panama Canal there is a phone call from Linda to say that Tom is missing. Will Jeff relinquish his command and fly home to find his missing son or sail into Southampton as Captain of the Welland?
