  Epilogue

  TORONTO DAILY Mail, October 7, 2010.

  A twenty-six-foot sailing boat leased to Canadian Dr. Guy Palmer, part-time anthropology professor at Toronto University, was found adrift off the southern coast of Bermuda with no one on board. Meteorological reports show brief localized tropical storm activity in the area, and the life raft was missing. There was no sign of foul play, and after four days, Bermudian and American coast guards have called off the air and sea search. Dr. Guy Palmer is missing and presumed dead.
