The narrative explores Stephen Crane's harrowing experience of surviving a shipwreck in 1897 while en route to Cuba. After the SS Commodore sank, he and three others found themselves in a lifeboat, with only three surviving the ordeal.

This work showcases Crane's innovative literary style and his ability to blend journalism with fiction.
