Wreck Tale Weighs Bold Plan On Shipboard Scheme
The narrator and Miss Robertson discuss a daring plot to save the crew of a wrecked vessel. The boatswain questions the plan as the ship, the Albany owned by Robertson & Co of Liverpool, steers toward the Gulf of Mexico while a pair of conspirators plot to scuttle and escape with a promised reward. The plan hinges on forged written orders and a staged disaster to lure officers and crew into rebellion, with the boatswain cautiously supporting but wary. The dialogue reveals tensions aboard and the risky, algebraic math of escape trajectories.
