A blurred memoir-like fragment describes a poolside scene with young women, revealing a troubling training ritual and voyeuristic detail. The piece pivots to a contemporaneous urban anecdote about a Colorado couple seeking health through climate, then shifts to brief, unrelated vignettes about life, marriage, and ambition, ending with ocean imagery and fragmented dialogue.
The diary recounts the doomed voyage of the Filly Ladlaw a two masted schooner from Bath Maine bound for Portland with a Norwegian crew and a Finn mate. A fierce northeast gale, muttered superstitions, a missing anchor and a catastrophic breakage strand the ship in a treacherous sea. The narrator describes terror, crew peril and a near sinking as the vessel fights the storm and the crew confronts fear and loss.
