The scene opens with Francis Sedgwick and an enigmatic man called Kent at Sedgwick's porch after a Kent visit. Kent, in a disguised voice and beard, asks for a walk, and the artist recalls a woman in riding dress with a brown toque and tall figure, noting horse color and rider traits as clues. The dialogue hints at a broader story to unfold.
In Annslaka the inquest into the beach death unfolds with Kent and Sedgwick confronting suspects. Elder Dennett testifies about a moonlit portrait, while the body is viewed amid tension as officials conceal a possible facial mark that hints at foul play. Kent probes, seeking the dead woman’s identity and the killer.
In a crowded harbor room Kent argues the drowned woman was not murdered by drowning but killed ashore. He points to a grating cocoon, a sailor’s possible belongings, and a terrified, lifelike expression on the face. The crowd and sheriff press for truth as Sedgwick faces accusation and Gansett Jim shouts Dah Ge murderer.
