The Secret Sharer

A short story from Conrad's [b:'Twixt Land and Sea 438080 ‘Twixt Land and Sea Joseph Conrad https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1328250713s/438080.jpg 2423554] published as a Penguin 60s Classic.An amusing and well constructed short story about a sea captain, new to his vessel, who takes on board in the dead of night a man from a ship anchored nearby.Keeping the man's presence a secret from the crew leaves the captain looking eccentric and somewhat foolish.Not much more to say without spoiling the story. An enjoyable short read. 4 Stars.
