In Chapter Two, Captain Pollard heads his ship into a storm. Unfortunately, the ship had problems and the captain gave certain orders too late. The first, he waited to long to order the sails shortened.... the second, he took too long to deliberate whether or not the ship should face the storm head on or turn to the side.
