| Notes | Du Bois writer i.d. and Bill Ely art i.d. by David Porta November 2021. Du Bois identifiers: The immediate Du Bois identifier is the opening line which fixes the character's name, location, and action. Then, the principal two identifiers are the abundance of nature references; and the technical nautical and geographic vocabulary. NATURE: 1) "and stared at the misty horizon" 2) "he rounded the high rocky headland south of Poquit Bay. No raft broke the surface of the smooth swells below him." 3) "the steep south shore" 4) "the oval, doughnut-shaped rubber raft wedged in a nest of rocks." 5) '"movement in the bushes near the top of the broken cliff" 6) "the trees are too thick on the point to make trailing from the air certain" 7) "the top of the ridge" 8) "through the woods" 9) "the cliff on the south shore" 10) "a thicket of scrub oak" 11) "a recent rain had soaked the dead leaves and twigs underfoot" 12) "Through the trees, Dave saw them scuttle like crabs over the edge of the cliff. ... where they must be---clinging with fingers and toes to the rough face of the sea cliff." LANGUAGE: 1) "shoreward." 2) "upwind." 3) "a twelve-gauge, double-barrelled shotgun and a handful of shells loaded with number three shot." 4) "step": "Moments later the red seaplane roared away from the old dock. Though he had never soloed, Dave had flown the little ship with his father. He knew when she reached the 'step.' Pulling back the stick he lifted her smoothly into the air." https://aviation.stackexchange.com/questions/62088/what-is-the-offset-in-a-seaplanes-hull/62091#62091 "What is the offset in a seaplane's hull? That's called the step. Without it, you'd have to fight against the buoyancy of the rear end of the hull when you rotate for takeoff." 5) "headland" ("headland: a narrow piece of land that projects from a coastline into the sea" - Oxford Languages.) 6) "the smooth swells" ["Swell are waves (usually with smooth tops) that have moved beyond the area where they were generated." king5.com whats-the-difference-between-waves-seas-and-swell.] 7) "facing seaward." |
