"A Man to His Mate" by J. Allan Dunn is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around John Rainey, a newspaperman who finds himself aboard the sealing schooner "Karluk" where tensions rise among the crew over a hidden treasure and old grudges. The interplay between the characters, particularly the blind ex-sailor Jim Lund and the crew's captain, Bill Simms, suggests an imminent conflict that is tied to Lund’s past and the promise of gold." "The opening of the book introduces Rainey as he navigates the bustling San Francisco waterfront before helping Jim Lund, a blind giant with a commanding presence, find his way aboard the "Karluk". The two characters establish an intriguing rapport as Lund hints at his unresolved issues with Captain Simms, whom he accuses of abandoning him during a perilous trip. Lund's fierce personality and the revelation of a treasure hunt set the stage for a story filled with adventure, secrets, and underlying tension among the crew, leaving Rainey caught in a precarious situation as he becomes privy to the unfolding drama."
