Review: The Rising of The Moon by Emile Capouya.

Emile Capouya takes us on the personal journey of a young American merchant seaman, a story of honor, integrity, bravery, and friendship. It was an enjoyable story with really no plot but an acceptable storytelling theme.

It’s a short story about a highly righteous and combative seaman in his twenties named Mike, who was broke, adrift in postwar France looking to be hired as a Captain of a ship. He had an argument with the agent who he usually gets his assignments from so he was having a string of bad luck finding work.

During his abandonment adrift he is mistaken for a murder suspect, interrogated and beaten up by the police. Finally being established as a sea merchant he was out of that mess. He finally takes a captains dubious job of dishonesty smuggling contraband cigarettes and sometimes people out of Tangier from France to Italy for a shady organization. Not long through his journeys he discovers he had been transporting disguised Nazi officers.

Mike is likely to take some risks as long as his efforts are on the side of justice. He is a compelling, sentimental hero, but sometimes overemphasizes his moral integrity by exhaustively detailing his various quarrels with ex-captains and company officers. He could be boisterous and assertive just to cause misery to other seamen.
