Island peril and salvage on the Rising Sea
After a wreck, the narrator clings to a rock and searches for his wife and child among dying passengers. He witnesses a rescue, survives with a boy found after seven years, and endures a brutal night ashore with scarce matches, cold, and peril. He later leads a rescued group, records survivors’ names, and contemplates burying his son Bob.
