Owen Chase's account of how he survived being shipwrecked in 1821 after a whale's apparent 'revenge attack'. His account is full of real life horror, made all the more terrible by the matter-of-fact style of its telling. The whale's attacks are breathtakingly vivid. His descriptions of reluctant cannibalism are vivid too: he describes the drying strips of human flesh as they hang upon the ship and he describes the macabre drawing of lots as it falls upon Owen Coffin (the captain's nephew) to be shot and eaten. Chase steers clear of sentimentality and melodrama. He tells it as it is. No one can fail to be moved by what he went through or impressed by his strength. His story inspired the novel and film 'In The Heart of The Sea'. It also inspired Melville to write 'Moby Dick' Melville was handed the manuscript of Chase's writing by Chase's son twenty years after its publication.

The problem is that, while he sat in jail, the State of New York flooded the area to build a reservoir; the loot is now under a few feet of dirt and many feet of water. Being a man of great determination but few ethical principles, the thief plans to blow up the dam, emptying the reservoir but also flooding the inhabited countryside to get at his stash. Dortmunder pleads with him to be allowed to retrieve the money another way. His first attempt fails. And his second. And third. Meanwhile the thief is losing patience...
