Sea-Wyf. J. M. Scott. New York: E. P. Dutton and Co., 1956. First American edition. Original dust jacket.Four had assumed the names of Sea-Wyf, Biscuit, Bulldog and Number 4 when adrift on the Indian Ocean. It is Sea-Wyf, the only woman, whose serenity and courage stabilizes the three others, two Englishmen and a one-legged mulatto who nettles their suspicion and hatred. Burned by the sun, attacked by sharks, their bodies- and their minds-wasted, they reach an island where turtle eggs and cocoanuts offer a reprieve…. The raw fascination of an experience such as this of human survival and salvage endures. – Kirkus Review -- source link
