"Drowned Quiquegs coffin was my lifebuoy. For eight long days and nights it sustained me on that soft and dirge-like main. Then a sail appeared. It was the Rachel; the Rachel who in her long, melancholy search for her missing children found... another orphan. The drama is done; all are departed away. The great shroud of the sea rolls over the Pequod, her crew, and Moby Dick. I only am escaped, to tell thee."
From the screenplay, Moby Dick, by Ray Bradbury. Adapted from Melville's book by the same name.
