So, clinging to the hope that I may yet find my sister and the dear ones who have sailed away on their long voyage, I am still looking to the windward, though my eyes are dim, ever keeping things shipshape below and aloft, and my tattered sails trimmed to meet a favoring breeze that may fan my derelict vessel onward to

The End.
