West Wind Drift

CHAPTER VII
4/36

It is the courage that depends so much on the courage of others.
You think I am brave.

I am brave because I am with trained, efficient men.

But if the Captain were to come to me now as I stand here, and say zat the ship is to sink in ten minutes and that we all must go down with her, would I face it bravely?
No! I would throw myself down on the floor and scream and pray and tear my hair.

Why?
Because the men had given up.
I am kept up by the courage of others.

That is the courage of woman.
