Southend Pier. I jumped to my feet and declared dramatically that we were saved: that the fixed light to port was the end of the pier and the revolving light to starboard the Maplin. They were the only two names I could remember. As a matter of fact the revolving light may have been the Nore. God knows what the other was! But I was concerned with humanity, not navigation. The essential was to radiate confidence.

‘Keep heading into the tide,’ I told him, ‘and we’ll get clear.’

I stood up in the bows, peering at nothing in a professional manner and giving him at intervals responsible but enthusiastic orders, such as ‘Starboard a little!’ and ‘Port a point or two!’ I did not much like turning my back to him, but I reckoned that, so long as he hadn’t spotted that I had spotted the regrettable decision passing through his mind, he would certainly want to preserve so admirable a pilot.
