This section starts with Josef still in the Atlantic “11 days from home” as his father flails around the room panicking because the ship is slowing down. Josef explains the ship is slowing for a funeral, and Josef’s father says he wants to go. They go to the deck, and one of the stewards insists German law mandates they wrap the body in the Nazi flag. In anger, Josef’s father spits at the feet of the steward, and the captain intervenes and stops the steward telling him to leave. They perform the ceremony and throw the body overboard, and the ship starts again.
