Lifeboat was an unpublished short story written by Steinbeck. He tried to turn it into a screenplay for Hitchcock, but they couldn't reconcile their different visions of the movie. Steinbeck asked that his name never be released in conjunction to the movie. The story can be read at the John Steinbeck research library. Alas it is not online.
