...they had to start from scratch at something new. As Ann tells it, the Davison saga was a succession of failures strung on a theme of hard luck. They tried gravel quarrying, farming, raising purebred goats. When Ann said, "You know, Frank, I could do with some real gut stirring," her husband said, "So could I." That led to the Reliance - and an ordeal that lifts the final 100 pages or so of Last Voyage far above the commonplace...
...Worse for him, capture and torture show him up as a coward. Kicked and loathsomely humiliated, Kent retches but refuses to reveal more than his name, rank and serial number.

Several times Robinson's head snaps back from it: Both noses are red. In the third Robinson hits Turpin three times in the gut. In the seventh he starts at the waist at close range and bombards the body and head with a vicious, two-handed assault. Turpin seems unaffected. He has won one round and lost six, but he looks very fresh, Robinson very weary...
