A story inspired by this tattoo · fiction

Mind the lamp, you, and sit where the tar smell is least. The old boats came in on the tide that year with nothing much in their holds, and Ada Pengelly was on the quay before the first hull touched stone, because her two boys were on the Morwenna and the Morwenna had been out past the Gull Rock since Thursday.

Their father had taught them the endless splice, the one that runs a rope back into itself so you cannot find the start or the end of it. He called it the loop that doesn't let go. Every boat in the fleet carried a bit of it somewhere, a fender lashing or a buoy line, and before the boys first went out at fourteen, Ada stitched a length of tarred cord worked in that splice into the lining of each coat.

When the Morwenna finally came round the breakwater, only one of the boys was at the tiller. The other was lashed to the mast with a loop of that same cord, grey as the water but breathing, and the older boy would not let anyone cut him free. Ada knelt on the wet planks and worked at the knot with her thumbnail for an hour, and she never once found the beginning, which is exactly what the splice was made for. It held him all night, and it held him still.
