“We’re men of honor,” said Josiah Gillanders. “We fish alone but we work together. There’s times at sea when we need each other, see? Any man worth his salt out there is going to come to the aid of his neighbor. It’s the law of the sea—you bet it is—to put away whatever you’re doin’ and answer any distress call. I can’t think of a single fisherman on this island who wouldn’t make it his business to help another man in an emergency out there on the water. It’s a law, see—not written anywhere exactly, but just as good as something written. Gill-netters help each other.”
–From David Guterson’s “Snow Falling on Cedars” (1994).
