After being kidnapped on the boat, Davie becomes very ill. He lives in a storage area for weeks and if not for a man named Mr. Riach he would have died. Mr. Riach convinces the captain (named Hoseason) to let Davie go to the forecastle (aka the sailors quarters) to heal. Davie spends many weeks in the forecastle talking to Ransome (who drinks too much), Riach (who has no background story), and an old man (who often talked about his family back home).
This chapter is very deep in Davie's thoughts.
