Summary "The Ice Pilot" by Henry Leverage is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows Horace Stirling, the titular Ice Pilot, as he navigates the treacherous waters of the Arctic aboard the whaling ship "Pole Star". Stirling, a seasoned sailor with a past filled with misfortune, finds himself embroiled in a mysterious adventure involving questionable crew dynamics and dubious intentions as they make their way through the icy territories. At the start of the book, we meet Stirling on Telegraph Hill in San Francisco on a rainy evening, where he feels a strong pull back to the sea after a failed stint as a chicken farmer. He enters a seedy tavern, the Blubber Room, seeking news of a ship bound for the Arctic. Chaos ensues when a woman is murdered in the bar, and Stirling finds himself shanghaied aboard the "Pole Star" as the crew prepares for a perilous journey into the ice. The opening chapters set up a tense atmosphere with hints of intrigue and danger, as Stirling contemplates the mysterious intentions of the ship's captain, Marr, and the eclectic crew drawn from various backgrounds. As the tension builds, readers are drawn into a world of adventure and suspense against the backdrop of the unforgiving Arctic. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
