[...]

- I waited for her to come around again and when she did, there it was.

- A three master. A big one. About a half mile off and coming down out of the north-northwest, coming straight for us.

- You must understand. Our light was where it was for a very good reason.

- Dangerous submerged reefs surrounded us and ships kept clear. But this one, this sailing vessel was coming straight on.

- I went over to the gallery door and yelled... Louis! Louis!

- Couldn't understand it. I waited for the light to come around again.

- What is it?

- Ship headed for the reef!

- Coming right up!

- I had the glasses out now. I couldn't read her name, but I could see her quite plainly.

- All sails set. And the foam creaming away under her bow. Her beautiful lines. A Dutch ship, I guessed her.

- But why didn't she turn? Every time it passed, our light hit her with the glare of day.

Ship's rats don't drown. No, sir. You cannot drown one of them. They're all climbing up the tower.
