Consider a bottle floating in the Pacific Ocean, if only fate would cast it ashore where human eyes could read the note inside. The note that says, “Ellen Harden is alive and well. I survived the sinking of the freighter Milton A on August 5th 1943. I’m living on an island approximately 200 miles south of the point of sinking. Please notify my husband, Nicholas Harden Los Angeles, California, USA“. If only these words would reach the ears of Nicholas Harden, but no they would have it otherwise. For seven years the bottle floats and now Nick has fallen in to the clutches of another woman, Bianca Bates. The bottle floats and Nick is sunk.
