Tonight: The Bayou Remembers.
Chapter Two: Trouble Found.
There was water in the glass beside his bed.
Enough to allow me to enter.
I found him sleeping badly.
The ship moved beneath him, but the room he dreamed of stood
perfectly still.
He knew this dream.
Sometimes he woke before he turned away.
Sometimes he even managed to reach for her.
It never changed what had happened.
Julien, they called him now.
Find Broussard.
Establish how the cargo was being taken.
Recover what could be recovered.
Will that stay dry?
If you keep it out of the water.
A reasonable answer.
He disliked it immediately.
What?
I was going to ask whether we'd missed the passage.
We're in it.
So I see.
Shift your weight.
How did you know that was there?
I hit it.
Once.
Julien heard her before the boat touched wood.
You may inspect it as long as you like.
It will still be the same price when you finish.
Long ago, her laughter had reached him across what was to
be a battlefield before
he ever saw the woman it belonged to.
Ti soleil.
Leave that.
He had wanted her to know him.
Now she did.
Be kind to yourselves and each other out there.

Marr Field Notes — Chapter Two, Serial One
Dr. Elspeth Marr | Knowing a passage
The boatman’s knowledge raises a different question. Remembering where a hull struck timber is useful local experience. It does not establish today’s depth or clearance. Hydrography measures water depths, the shape of the bottom and obstructions. A channel can change through erosion, deposition, vegetation growth or accumulated debris.
