At the start of the novel, the protagonist, Simon Dubosc, shares a conversation with his friend Edward Rolleston at a golf club. They discuss alarming news reports detailing the recent sinking of ships due to bizarre weather phenomena, including massive waterspouts. As Simon grapples with the implications of these disasters, he also contemplates his romantic feelings for Isabel, the daughter of an English peer. This tension is heightened by the imminent danger posed by the sea and the challenges he faces regarding social class and love. The opening sets the stage for Simon's brave journey through both his personal struggles and the chaotic events that are about to test his mettle.
