Release date is 2025-01-09 Roger Frank and Sue Clark "Salvage—extra special" by Holman Day is a maritime adventure story written during the early 20th century. This tale follows Captain Rawson Bent of the coast-guard cutter "Arrowsic" as he embarks on a rescue mission for a distressed schooner named "Harvest Home". The narrative delves into themes of duty, resilience, and the murky waters of moral choice against the backdrop of the sea. The story begins with Captain Bent’s cutter returning to port after a patrol, only to receive an urgent call about the stranded "Harvest Home", which is being tossed in the tumultuous seas off Popham Sands. As Bent navigates the challenges of the rescue, he discovers that the crew is not merely in distress but is entangled in dubious dealings involving illegal liquor—further complicated when he encounters the former captain of the "Harvest Home", Captain York Coombs. Their reunion is marked by a mix of nostalgia and regret, revealing Coombs's fall from grace and challenges as a fugitive from the law. Ultimately, Bent not only manages to tow the crippled vessel to safety but also aims to aid Coombs in confronting his troubled past, weaving a poignant tale of redemption and camaraderie amidst the ever-present peril of the sea.
