Typhoon (ESCP)

MacWhirr, the stubborn captain of the steamer Nan-Shan, is seemingly obsessed with trivial matters and blind to the greater dangers around him.

This great sea tale was penned by Joseph Conrad and adapted for Escape by the incomparable script writer Les Crutchfield. The same was true of The Brute, which has been covered earlier in this blog. The characters, in particular, are extremely well drawn.
