# Page 38: Story Prose from "The South Sea Island Number" This page contains continuous narrative prose from what appears to be a short story. The text describes a scene where a character named Kavanagh tends to a dying man named Maxwell. Maxwell, gravely ill with fever, becomes delirious and speaks of people named Eunice and Bruch. The passage reveals that Kavanagh found a wallet containing a letter from someone named Eunice expressing regret about past misunderstandings. The narrative concludes with Maxwell's death at dawn, after he makes Kavanagh swear to cremate rather than bury him, fearing animals might disturb his remains. The story appears to be set in a tropical location.
