E-text prepared by Paul Hollander, David Clarke, and the Project Gutenberg Online Distributed Proofreading Team "Where Angels Fear to Tread" and Other Stories of the Sea by Morgan Robertson is a collection of short stories written in the late 19th century. The work delves into various maritime themes, exploring the lives of sailors, the challenges they face, and the unique characters that populate the sea. Each tale invites the reader into a world of adventure, conflict, and nautical camaraderie, highlighting both the beauty and peril of life at sea. The opening of the titular story introduces us to the "Almena", a ship preparing for departure. The scene unfolds with a shipping-master recruiting a mismatched crew of "townies" who mistakenly believe they are signing on for a more favorable voyage than what is actually in store for them. As tensions rise and misunderstandings unfold, we witness the chaos that ensues when the sailors, primarily inexperienced and underprepared for the harsh realities of life at sea, clash with the ship's mates in a violent confrontation. The narrative sets the tone for a story filled with irony and dark humor about the complexity of human interactions aboard a ship, establishing Robertson’s keen observation and critique of both the maritime experience and the vividly drawn characters involved.
