Trying to remember short story ...
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!

Endangered Species's first story, 'A Cabin on the Coast'.

That’s “A Cabin on the Coast”. It’s the first story in Endangered Species, IIRC. - 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!
