Summary

"A Man to His Mate" by J. Allan Dunn is an adventure story set on the high seas, where a newspaperman named John Rainey gets caught up in the dangerous world of a sealing schooner. Rainey finds himself on the "Karluk," where the crew simmers with resentment and whispers of hidden treasure. Old feuds and the lure of gold create conflict, especially between the imposing, blind ex-sailor Jim Lund and the ship's captain, Bill Simms. As Rainey helps Lund navigate the ship, he learns about a past betrayal and a treasure hunt that could tear the crew apart, making him an unwilling participant in the escalating drama.
