Sinopsis

Excerpt from The Twisted Foot

The captain's biscuits, a Huntley and Palmer tin, Were slung high beyond reach of white ants or more nauseous Vermin on a lanyard made fast to the awning stanchion. There they swung dimly, beside a bunch of ripe bananas, in the darkest part of the boat-deck. If Agapito, the mestizo steward, had stayed awake long enough to coil up loose ends but a tale was hanging by that slender cord, along With the captain's bis cuits.

Excerpt from The Twisted Foot

The captain's biscuits, a Huntley and Palmer tin, were slung - high beyond reach of white ants or more nauseous vermin - on a lanyard made fast to the awning stanchion. There they swung dimly, beside a bunch of ripe bananas, in the darkest part of the boat-deck. If Agapito, the mestizo steward, had stayed awake long enough to coil up loose ends ... but a tale was hanging by that slender cord, along with the captain's biscuits.

Into this tale, David Bowman plunged head first over the side, through the unguarded gap astern of the long-boat. The rotten cord snapped from his ankle, and he fell whirling, in a shock of surprise and blind rage. A long time, it seemed, he fought and choked in the cool darkness under the ocean.
