Rintoul is an excellent narrator NARRATOR. A pleader who draws narrs serviens narrator, a sergeant at law. Fleta, 1. 2, c. 37. Obsolete. . His reserved British tone creates a somber, gray mood in which listeners will vicariously feel the biting cold of the cruel sea and the eminent danger from U-boats lurking beneath the surface.
