Perhaps Walter was starting to get excited by the fantasy world he was imagining, letting it take over his actions in the real world. It is Walter's wife who drags him out of the fantasy that begins the story, when she exclaims that he is driving too fast. And ta-pocketa-pocketa sound that the hydroplane’s eight engines are making is actually being produced by the car that Walter is driving through his small town with his ever-vigilant wife by his side. No crew of any hydroplane could ever be afraid when Commander Walter Mitty is at the helm.Įxcept that Water Mitty is no naval commander.
The level of danger is causing anxiety among the crew, but not fear. That situation is made all the more precarious as a result of ice forming on the pilot’s window. That story is taking place aboard a naval hydroplane equipped with eight engines and facing what appears to be a life-and-death situation. The reader is thrust right into what might well be the climax of a more traditional story.
