The story

While both on a ferry from San Francisco to Oakland, critic Humphrey Van Weyden and novelist Maud Brewster are both forced overboard when the ferry collides with another sailing vessel. Both "Hump" and Maud are marooned and later rescued by "Ghost", a two-masted sailing vessel, captained by "Wolf" Larsen and his crew. Following the storyline of London's novel closely, though both Van Weyden and Brewster wish to return to the mainland, the genius but tyrannical captain refused their request and instead forces them to work aboard the sailing vessel as members of the crew.
