He even was not worried when,

he might as well die, like his song
had prompted, “comfortable and con

That, at least, might keep him from
being thrown or blown overboard so

to wait until the pirogue floated
near enough for him to go ashore
The place where he went ashore
was Long Point, on the Canadian
side of the lake. The unmanagable
and clumsy boat had weathered the
hurricane and had crossed Lake Erie.
