Time seems to be running out, though, on old-fashioned virtues that Mostert does not think sea commerce can do without: pride in skill and a sense of being personally accountable for whether things work properly or not, and if not, why.

...North. As intimately as anybody has, he tells why they left. But All God's Dangers is most valuable for its picture of pure courage. Knowing he was ridiculed and despised, aware that whites would frustrate his plans, Shaw simply went ahead, surrounded by a shell of pride. He wonders where this grit came from, recognizes that his nature welled up from something deeper than race or family. He describes his own "dear brother" as "hush-mouthed.
