Summary
In “Pilgrim at Sea,” Tobias boards a sinister pirate ship to continue his voyage to the Holy Land. A hypnotic character named Giovanni, an unfrocked priest, occupies most of the slender plot‐line, as he tells Tobias his life story, the ancient gambit of a once holy man's downfall, after he has fallen in love with a woman whose confession he has been hearing. The significance of the tale hinges on a locket in which the woman claimed to have the picture of her true love; the priest has stolen it, only to find it empty.
