Seven Days Dead
“Let others answer the cattle call to crowd below, to sit in the cave of the hold while waiting for the ship to dock and the great steel doors to crank wide open. They will not easily be removed from their rapt attention of the view from the ship’s topmost deck.
As the vessel steams to the harbor at North Head, they pass Long Eddy Point, the northern tip of the island. The whole of Grand Manan is shaped not unlike a cow’s carcass prepped for seasoning, wide in the flanks and narrowing at the bas...e. The upper shoulder, then, is where a hook garrotes the beef for hanging in a meat locker. By consulting a tourist chart, Émile Cinq-Mars determines that above the jut of Long Eddy Point at sea level, way up high, in essence where the hook would emerge in his imaginative rendering, is a lookout known as the Whistle, at the end of Whistle Road. The sunset views from there, he’s told, are extraordinary.
The Bishop is the next section of promontory as the boat travels nearly due south, slightly easterly, followed by the solid rock of Ashburton Head.MoreLess
