For years, Great–uncle Edward was the only relative he felt close to. Though they both loved the sea, both were terrified of drowning.
When his family went to Grandfather's house one day, they found him talking with a strange man in Royal Navy uniform. The man introduced himself as Lieutenant George Walsh, Uncle Edward's immediate subordinate.
The HMS Clement, his uncle's submarine, had sunk. Edward drowned, but he sacrificed himself in order to save his shipmates.
Edward was always Malcolm's hero. Now even more so, because he had not allowed his fear stand in the way of his duty.
