Summary "Scrimshaw" by Murray Leinster is a science fiction novella written in the mid-20th century. Set on the far side of the Moon, the story explores themes of memory recovery and human resilience in extreme environments. The narrative follows Pop Young, a man who, after losing his family to a brutal crime, seeks to recover the lost memories of his past while performing his duties as the caretaker of a mining colony. The story revolves around Pop, who endures the harsh conditions of the lunar surface while grappling with fragmented recollections of his wife and children, who were murdered by a man named Sattell. As Pop attempts to piece together his lost memories, he discovers that being near Sattell triggers vivid flashes of his past, leading to a powerful yet haunting portrayal of his journey. When a red-headed thief attempts to rob Pop of the valuable diamonds extracted from the mine, the tension escalates, culminating in a dramatic explosion. Ultimately, Pop's determination to reclaim his memories transforms his pain into creativity, and he begins to use a unique material discovered in the wreckage for his artistic endeavors, signifying hope and the possibility of healing.
