It involves a woman and man on vacation at a beach house. The man sees a ship on the horizon one day, and shortly after that, the girl disappears and he goes searching for her. He strikes a deal with the captain of the odd ship in order to save her. I won't describe the ending so as to keep from spoiling it for someone else, but hopefully someone can help me remember the name! Thanks! --- ### Mo Holkar *25 Oct 2011, 14:14 · in reply to Antonin Scriabin* > At 14:59 25/10/2011, you wrote: > I am trying to remember the name of a Wolfe short story (I think it > was from Endangered Species, but I am not sure).

Thanks! _Endangered Species_'s first story, 'A Cabin on the Coast'. ``` gwern http://www.gwern.net ``` --- ### Gerry Quinn *25 Oct 2011, 14:23 · in reply to Antonin Scriabin* From: Antonin Scriabin > I am trying to remember the name of a Wolfe short story (I think > it was from Endangered Species, but I am not sure). That’s “A Cabin on the Coast”. It’s the first story in Endangered Species, IIRC. - Gerry Quinn --- ### Antonin Scriabin *25 Oct 2011, 14:25 · in reply to Gerry Quinn* Thanks guys. I don't have my copy of Endangered Species at the moment, so I couldn't page through. Great story, by the way! > On Tue, Oct 25, 2011 at 10:23 AM, Gerry Quinn wrote: > > > *From:* Antonin Scriabin > > > I am trying to remember the name of a Wolfe short story (I think > > it was from Endangered Species, but I am not sure). > > That’s “A Cabin on the Coast”.
