Description of  Motoo Eetee: Shipwrecked at the Edge of the World

Four men swim for their lives from the senseless wreck of the American sealing ship Dove: Thomas, a headstrong young sailor Harrison, the affable, inventive ship's carpenter Mr. Morgen, the Dove's pedestrian first mate and the aging Captain Tobita short-sighted bungler. Battered, empty-handed, and stripped naked, they wash up on an isolated and uncharted yet bountiful volcanic island rich with all they need to survive and thrive. But almost imediately, the two crewmen realize that, for their fanatical captain, hierarchy outstrips human need.
