Summary "The Voice in the Fog" by Henry Leverage is a novel written in the early 20th century. This gripping tale unfolds aboard the ocean tanker "Seriphus", capturing the perils and machinations of maritime life. The story explores themes of ambition, familial loyalty, and the darker aspects of human nature against the backdrop of the shipping industry, showcasing the intricate world of oil trading and smuggling. The plot centers around Paul Richter, the chief engineer of the "Seriphus", who is consumed by ambition and a ruthless desire to protect his daughter, Hylda. After a violent confrontation with her lover, Gathright, Richter brutally disposes of him by imprisoning him in a boiler on the ship. As the "Seriphus" embarks on dangerous voyages across the Pacific, strange and eerie occurrences begin to unfold, including the spectral voice of Gathright haunting Richter. Ultimately, the story culminates in a dramatic confrontation with guilt and redemption, as Gathright reveals himself alive and seeking Hylda's forgiveness, profoundly challenging Richter’s moral compass and forcing him to face the consequences of his actions.
