Read the following passage and then, in your own words, describe the author's point of view using details from the passage. Explain how he views the people he works with. (4 points) DECEMBER 28. Lat. 89.10 N., long. 16.8 W. Course, S.W. 1/2 west. We are nearing the tropics. Now the ship has such a complete set of grumblers, good fellows who know their work better than anyone less than God, that our great distance at sea is plain. Our men, casually gathered and speaking divers tongues, detached from earth and set afloat on a mobile islet to mix on it if they can, have become one body to deal with the common enemy. We are corporate to face each trouble as it meets us, and free to explain afterwards how much better we should have done under another captain. . . . Through the door I could see a . . . stoker, who had been keeping the fires while I slept, and he was getting back his breath in loud sobs. Something had made him sick. These stupid and dirty men will drink too much while they are attending to the furnaces. They have been warned of the danger, of which they take no heed, and so they have to suffer. . . . Somehow, you know, things went on. I think I shall become one of the intelligent leisured class. —H.M. Tomlinson, The Sea and the Jungle, 19121
