The Light at Slack Water
When rising water cuts off two workers, a ferry mechanic and her brother return to the channel where their father died, guided by an old chart and a brass lamp.
From the story
At six in the morning, someone had tied a sack of onions to the tide gauge. Nora Vale knew this would be June Pepper's doing. The weather forecast had brought a run on onions, and June, who sold them by the pound from the back of her car, liked to keep a sack where the harbor camera could see it. You could tell how high the water was without getting out of bed. You could also tell that June still had onions.
