What is the story of 'Man Overboard: John Howland' about?

The 'Man Overboard Novel' could potentially revolve around a character who experiences the harrowing event of going overboard. It might explore themes such as survival at sea, the psychological state of the person in distress, and how others on the vessel react. Maybe it also delves into the backstories of the characters involved, like what led the person to be in a position where they could fall overboard, and the relationships that are affected by this incident. It could be a story of hope and perseverance as the character tries to stay alive against all odds.

Often, lack of safety awareness is a cause. Some individuals may not be aware of the proper safety procedures on board a vessel. For example, not holding onto something when the ship rocks. Additionally, equipment failure can be a factor. If a railing is loose or a safety harness is defective, it can lead to someone going overboard. And sometimes, it's just plain bad luck. A sudden jolt of the ship due to hitting an unexpected object in the water can send someone flying overboard.

In 'Man Overboard' short story, it might be about a person falling off a ship or a boat. Usually, such a story would involve the immediate chaos and panic on board. People would start shouting, trying to figure out what happened and how to rescue the person overboard.

Once, on a large ship, a sailor named Tom was leaning over the railing to watch the dolphins. Suddenly, a big wave hit and he tumbled overboard. The crew immediately threw out a lifebuoy and sounded the alarm. A brave crewmate, Jack, quickly put on a life jacket and jumped into the water. He swam towards Tom, who was struggling. Jack managed to reach Tom and hold him up until the rescue boat arrived. It was a terrifying experience for Tom but thanks to the quick actions of the crew, he survived.

Perhaps the main event is obviously the man going overboard. It could be due to an accident, like slipping on a wet deck. Then, the crew's reaction would be another major event. They might sound the alarm and start preparing the rescue gear.

A fisherman once fell overboard while his small boat was in rough seas. He managed to hold on to a floating net for a while. His fellow fishermen noticed his absence and started looking for him. They used a long pole to pull him closer to the boat and then hauled him back in. It was a lucky escape for the fisherman.

Since I don't know the specific 'Man Overboard Novel', I can't say for sure. But it could have the man who goes overboard as a main character, along with the captain or crew members who are involved in the rescue.

I'm sorry, I haven't read this specific novel in detail. But generally, Freeman Wills Crofts' works often involve intricate detective or mystery elements. In 'Man Overboard', perhaps it could be about a situation where someone falling overboard leads to a series of investigations, with various characters having motives and secrets related to the incident.

I'm not sure specifically as there isn't a widely known novel titled exactly this way in common knowledge. It could potentially be about a woman who goes overboard, perhaps from a ship, and there might be some sort of connection to a 'cloudsplitter', which could be a metaphorical or literal element in the story like a powerful force or a specific object.
