…on his journey home to Ithaca, was visited by a ghost. The ghost tells him that once he reaches his home, once he slays all his enemies and sets his house in order, he must do one last thing before he can rest. The ghost tells him to pick up an oar and walk inland, and keep walking until somebody mistakes that oar for a shovel. For that would be the place that no man had ever been troubled by the sea, and that’s where he’d find peace. In the end, that’s all I want. To walk away from the sea and find some peace.

That’s the last one. According to the men who just landed, that is the last longboat. I heard the same. I’m told they saw an injured man pulled aboard from out of the water, almost drowned. I heard the same.

Here I must be careful. I have well over two hundred men unaccounted for. Those who remain, it would be very hard to explain to them why, with all I have to tend to, I choose to stand here… hanging onto the fate of just one of them.
