An empty ferry, a missing fare, and a rising tide

  • Follow the physical clues

    Compare the returned boat, the boarding accounts, and the inshore paths. People can disagree without anyone having the whole story.

  • Choose what to skip

    There are two bells before high water and three leads. Recruiting local help takes time too. The clock shows what you can still do.

  • Prepare the rescue

    Your old life, gift, class, and companion can change the approach. Clear a dangerous stair before it falls, or accept a costlier way out.

  • Keep track of your promises

    Bring home the evidence, protect a confidence, or put an account before the town. The people you help have their own say in what happens next.
