Bob Thompson's father was a fisherman, and so was his father before him. So when Bob joins the crew of the fishing smack the Admiral, it seems perfectly natural. Especially as this is World War I, the Admiral is armed - and Bob gets extra danger money. The first time out, they sink a German sub. It's money for jam, Bob thinks. Until the day the Admiral meets two German subs. Now the crew really will earn their danger money.
