Geocache Description:


Not at the posted coordinates. You might need to crack a book to solve this one. You are looking for a preform tube.

Presently there came a great rattling of chains and bolts, and the door was cautiously opened and shut to again behind me as soon as I had passed.
Much rain fell in the night; and the next morning there blew a bitter wintery wind out of the northwest, driving scattered clouds.
One night, about eleven o'clock, a man of Mr. Riach's watch (which was on deck) came below for his jacket; and instantly there began to go a whisper about the forecastle that "Shaun had done him at last."
There was no need for a name; we all knew who was meant; but we had scare time to get the idea rightly in our heads, far less to speak of it, when the scuttle was again flung open, and Captain Hoseason came down the ladder.

As soon as we came to the inn, Ransome led us up the stair to a small room, with a bed in it, and heated like an oven by a great fire of coal.
He looked sharply round the bunks in the tossing light of the lantern; and then, walking straight up to me, he addressed me, to my surprise, in tones of kindness.
More than a week went by, in which the ill luck that had hitherto pursued the Covenant upon this voyage grew yet more strongly marked.
For all that, and before the sun began to peep or the last of the stars had vanished, I made my way to the side of the burn, and had a plunge in a deep whirling pool.
