The White Indian on Ship Island in Louisiana

I awaken near Ship Island Bay as the voyage begins to unload convicts and settlers. The narrator, known as the White Indian, observes the chaos of migrants and a haunting encounter with Marie DaLiskaurde, a young woman picked up in a raid. He foils a brutal assault and vows to escort her to the boats while awaiting orders from Blenville, with tensions rising over the new world’s harsh conditions.
