This short tale is part of the Philosophical Studies section of Honore de Balzac’s The Human Comedy. Almost fable-like in tone, it recounts a boat ride carrying a group of passengers that represent a broad cross-section of society. When a sudden storm hits, chaos ensues, and each passenger’s reaction speaks volumes about his or her moral compass.
