Summary
“Recently returned sailor seeking some connection. Write to Tom Bowline at the Symposium”
The advertisement, which had run in a very selective paper only distributed to a small set of particular underground institutions in London, was wanting. James was certain of it. He should have made it longer, more detailed regarding exactly what sort of connection he was looking for. It had run in the paper for two and a half weeks now, and James was beginning to regret ever posting it at all.
After their return, after his recovery, after the court martial, James finds himself adrift. With Francis no longer speaking to him, no new posting, and nothing to occupy his time, he decides to take out an advertisment.
Eventually, he gets a decent reply
