Rachel
"I floated on a soft dirge-like main. The unharming sharks,
they glided by as if with padlocks on their mouths; the savage
seahawks sailed with sheathed beaks. On the second day, a sail drew
near, nearer, and picked me up at last. It was the devious-cruising
Rachel, that in her retracing search after her missing children,
only found another orphan."
The ending of Moby Dick by Herman Melville, 1851
