==Synopsis==
A crab fishing ship goes to the open sea off Kamchatka (now in Russia but then in the Soviet Union). The crew are not optimistic about their prospects; one crewman declares "We're going to Hell!" When the drown crew is saved by Russian, they find that foreigners are human being just like themselves and the Russian tell that proletariat the worker is a great being. A student worker says that the labour situation at the crew is worse the The House of the Dead by Dostoevsky. The crew ultimately revolt against their sadistic manager and foreman, form a union and take over the ship. However the new order on board is suppressed by the Imperial Navy sailors.
The book expresses its pessimism from the beginning, not only in the opening remark but in the description of the harbour of Hakodate being filled with rubbish, and the smaller boats being compared to insects.〔Valdo H.Viglielmo.(The Sea as Metaphor: An Aspect of the Modern Japanese Novel ), in A.-T.Tymieniecka (ed.), ''Analecta Husserliana'', Vol.XIX: ''Poetics of the Elements in the Human Condition'' (D.Reidel Publishing Company, 1985), 149-169.〕
