Ten dollars and a half a month is the wage Disko Troop offers the boy he has hauled out of the North Atlantic, and no amount of shouting about his father's millions will move the figure. Harvey Cheyne went over the rail of a liner insufferable; he comes up in a Portuguese fisherman's dory with nothing to trade but his own two hands, and the We're Here will not turn for Gloucester until her salt is wet and her hold is full of cod.

It was the forty-fathom slumber that clears the soul and eye and heart, and sends you to breakfast ravening.
Captains Courageous, Rudyard Kipling
