| Summary | "Black Pawl" by Ben Ames Williams is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Captain Black Pawl, a seasoned master of a whaling schooner, and explores themes of family conflict, personal struggle, and the weight of past sins. The dynamic between Black Pawl and his son, Red Pawl, who harbors deep resentment toward his father, serves as a focal point in the narrative. The opening of "Black Pawl" introduces readers to the intricate daily life aboard the schooner, set against the captivating backdrop of tropical islands. Black Pawl's commanding presence is juxtaposed with the turbulent relationship he has with his son Red, who challenges his authority and appears resentful of their father-son bond. Amidst this familial tension, the interaction between Black Pawl and a missionary brought on board, along with a young woman named Ruth, hints at potential new dynamics and allegiances. The narrative intricately details their surroundings and relationships, establishing a rich foundation for the conflicts and personal revelations that are to unfold throughout the rest of the novel.
