The Casting Away of Mrs. Lecks and Mrs. Aleshine

Two days beyond Honolulu, the steamer carrying you toward Yokohama collided at night with an eastbound vessel that vanished in fog. If their lookout had been awake, two ships would still possess their proper shapes and destinations. You step into this one-chapter preview with Mrs Lecks at the center, where choices turn on the people, promises, and pressure already in the room. In the middle of the Pacific, your party of three had finally learned why nobody else had used its boat. The chapter closes on a continuation question rather than resolving the novel's larger arc.
