The Last Entry by William Clark Russell is about an ex-fisherman who takes his daughter aboard his ship to improve his health with the fresh sea air. Excerpt: "This story belongs to the year 1837, and was regarded by the generations of that and a succeeding time as the most miraculous of all the recorded deliverances from death at sea. It may be told thus: Mr. Montagu Vanderholt sat at breakfast with his daughter Violet one morning in September. Vanderholt's house was one of a fine terrace close to Hyde Park."
