White Squadron Tales at Virginia Seaside Fort Monroe Calm Night
A fragment from Life at Virginia's seaside resort shows a White Squadron bound southward. Amid shipboard sounds and the Hygeia Hotel, Nick Clear narrates a young woman’s near suicide, a sailor’s intervention, and a secretive past with the Vandalia. The tale ends with reflections on happiness, money, and respectability as the moonlit harbor quiets.
