SynopsisJune 30, 1905. The hands of the vessel's clock slowly rise toward midnight. A beautiful, one hundred ton schooner named Olympia makes ready to sail out of the crescent cove of Eastern Harbor, located on a small Caribbean island. The voyage will be one of danger, apprehension and foreboding fear. The dim, quarter moon seems a portent of the terrible things that will take place aboard Captain White Bush's boat. The weather was agreeable, a medium east wind, a pleasant rolling sea and a happy crew and passengers -- eleven in all. The author reconstructs that voyage in detail -- the surprises, the struggles, the tears, the prayers -- and the ensuing horrors! In the tradition of his English ancestors and their fascination with story telling, he gathers some of the guarded tales recounting the episode he heard as a child, then solidifies them in an interview with an "Old Timer." And The Sea Shall Hide Them will carry you along with those unfortunate passengers and crew. His account will show what horrible and fateful things can befall anyone if they happen to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.
