A dutch sailor, First Mate aboard The Tundra, a ship being captained by Peter Lukas that sailed from Porto do Itaqui, Brazil to Southampton, England. Known to be in possession of The Boatswain’s Call.
He was a short man, heavy set with a thick, black beard. His warm, brown skin was stained darker by a life working in the sun, and he didn’t smile when he looked at me. Around his neck, I saw a chain ending in a small brass ball and stem. It looked like an old boatswain’s call, an antique sailor’s whistle… I have never heard a whistle sound like that. It was shrill, so high and piercing that I felt my hair stand on end, but it also seemed distant. Like I was hearing it from far, far away.
