Only an hour after Gushin had left the sub, the harsh Baltic elements took an unexpected hand in the plot. Gale winds of up to 85 m.p.h. slammed towering combers against the sides of the sub, cascading tons of water on deck. The 50-man Soviet crew quickly decided it could stand no more. Red flares signaling distress whooshed up from the conning tower, and the radio put out the call "Mayday, Mayday." Under the sea's battering, the submarine developed a 17° list to starboard.

They will be joined by Pablo Tabor, a deserter from the Coast Guard and by far the wildest card in this deck. A homicidal speed freak ("Gimme a rush, Jesus. If you want me for a sunbeam"), Pablo signs on with Jack and Deedee Callahan, a permanently sloshed American couple who run guns in a cutter disguised as a shrimp boat. This work is not so easy or pleasant as it once...
