AN EXCERPT FROM "Saving the Whales "
"Andrew Wattling was
skipper of the cargo vessel Perth’s Lady. A young man,
only ten years out of the
Australian Maritime College, he owed his advancement to both his wide
ranging
competence, and his uncle that owned the ship.
Bluff, stocky, with ginger hair, he was well liked by his
crew and they
responded with giving good weight in their daily duties. Three days ago, Perth’s
Lady had taken
on a cargo of rare earth metals at Port Hedland in northwestern
Australia. Surprisingly,
the small city of 15,000 was
the largest port in Australia in terms of tonnage.
Near large mining centers for gold and iron,
the discovery of huge deposits of rare earth ores three years ago had
lead to
an entirely new metals processing industry.
Used in a variety of specialty industrial activities such
as high
strength magnets and high strength alloys for airplane engines, the
deposits of
neodymium, praseodymium, thulium, and other metals were much in demand. Wattling had
some idea of the value of his
cargo. He knew that
his cargo ship was
to take the metals directly to the harbor of Shanghai and make no stops
along
the way. That made
for a tedious, if
rapid voyage, for the Perth’s Lady was a fast ship
for a cargo
vessel. The mining
company had in fact,
chosen her, because she was fast.
His
uncle had told him that the mining company wanted no chances on the
cargo, and
they were to pause for no reason.
It was eight in the evening and a fine soft night like one gets in tropics deep at sea. Captain Wattling puffed contentedly on his briar pipe. The captain was finishing the second dog watch and waiting for the first officer, Scotty O’Brian, a garrulous New Zealander to show up. O’Brian was always good for a yarn before going to bed. Wattling heard a scream from the deck below. Immediately he turned on the flood lights on deck and sounded the alarm klaxon. Suddenly a trio of black clad men burst onto his bridge. “Pirates!” thought Wattling. He knew of the tales of crews taken hostage and held for ransom. One of the men clubbed his startled helmsman to the floor and then shot him. Panicking, Wattling attempted to make his way off the bridge via the other door, but was shot immediately in the back. The briar pipe clattered on the deck, spilling its ashes. No prisoners were being taken this time, no hostages. He could hear the screams of his men and scattered gunshots. As he fell against the railing outside the bridge, he looked out and in his last dying moments could not believe his eyes. Off the starboard side, a submarine was keeping pace with his ship and was flying a black flag. "
