Ulrik Brendel, an old mentor of Rosmer's whose life has corroded through his own illusory ambitions, was given a Chaplinesque twist by Joel Henning.

Harvey said he was trying to read the markings on the buoy." Said Jack Stone, former commodore of the Capital Yacht Club, home berth of the Torbatross: "Everybody who has sailed those waters knows about the Texas and just stays away from her.
