Simon peered out intently, looking for light or activity, but the only light was the moonlight, and the only movement, a few bats flitting about. The coast proper was still a mile or so further, across a region of swampy delta-ground and forking channels. But as he gazed out, he realized that the leftmost "hut" he was seeing in the village wasn't a hut at all... it was a conning tower.

This little trip has sure turned out to be more than we bargained for. Chin up kid Art's going to be fine. I better get a little rest before we head back down." With that Will reluctantly heads to his cabin knowing no words will console the young singer.
