The Dark Road

Welland was a British navy officer, here is an extract :

"Welland smiled, a dreary smile. At one time he had thought he might be rich. Now he was a broken adventurer whom his hosts had hired.
He heard breathless shouts and saw Huysler and Nilson swim round the ship. Nilson swam like a porpoise, his powerful white body shining in the foam he tossed about. His hair was yellow and sparkled when his swinging arm lifted his head.
Nilson's home was in Minnesota and his was the pure Nordic type. Welland understood his main occupation was to hunt Canadian moose and sail a yacht on the Great Lakes.
Twenty yards behind the other Huysler plowed along. Welland admitted the boy could swim, but he had not Nilson's splendid vitality and force. They turned to cross the bows, and Captain Grant jumped on the rail.
"Come on out of it, boys," he ordered. "I don't want to fight a shark for you."
