The readable fragments describe coastal scenes with low tide coral remains and references to oil imagery. Names and places are unclear, but the text implies caution about passages and warning signs amid large oilrelated imagery and distant sequences.
Damaged text describes a pool area with confusion about swimmers and water quality. Mentions a bath in Haxburg and a river area with confused names. The overall sense is a dubious account of swimming and safety concerns with various garbled phrases.
