  • How did Wolf Larsen die? (a shameless vanity)

    I'm sure someone here knows this. I've finally read "The Sea Wolf" (a great book, BTW) but was puzzled as to the cause of Larsen's sickness and eventual death. William Jose Farmer in his Riverworld series states that it was syphylis. Does anyone know for sure what London intended, or was it left to be unanswered?
