What you’re looking at
# Page Content This is a page of running prose from what appears to be a narrative text titled or featuring "De la Jonquiere" (page 325). The visible text describes a tense moment between characters—one anxious and questioning whether it's time to leave, while another character identified as "the Cherokee" silently takes the oars of what appears to be a boat. The passage concludes with a poetic image of the moon setting into the sea at dawn. The page is mostly blank space below the text, suggesting either the end of a chapter or section break.
