Storm Ports — Robert James Allison

The island nation of Keykan is losing ships and sailors to violent storms, but how to stop the death continues to evade the leaders. The current president, having himself lost family to the storms, travels to the United States seeking help from that president, but finds no help, until he meets a long-haired man, unkempt at best, with something in his eyes that bespeaks trust and ability. Another short-story adventure in the life of Mike Maltby.
