Trying to remember short story ...

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

I am trying to remember the name of a Wolfe short story (I think it was from
Endangered Species, but I am not sure).  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!
