Quote #10
"Once a year," Phinney remembered, "on the anniversary of the loss of the Essex, he locked himself in his room and fasted." (14.22)
Pollard will never forget his experiences during the Essex disaster. In fact, he still seems to feel shame for his part in it. The only way for him to alleviate these feelings, however temporarily, is to remind himself of what that suffering felt like.
