A Voyage for a Sister on a Distant Island
In 1868 the Halifax ship Foam vanished after a voyage from Liverpool to Honduras. Miss Agatha Bailey, a 40 year old traveler and her sister Agnes, hire a small craft to seek a dream island said to hold her missing sibling. A rescue party lands on a reefed isle near Cape Dios, finds an anchor, and scouts a circular island with wreckers camps, pigs, and ruins as the search proceeds.

Shelter built by Miss Agnes found on wreck island
The search party discovered a thirteen foot square hut on a jungle coast near the wreck. Miss Agnes built it from shelter poles, sailcloth and wood, leaving a tarpaulin door. Inside lay a ship log, diary entries, clothing, books and a seaman's chest. The diary chronicles 28 months of survival after the brig broke up and hints at a possible rescue that never came.
