The year is 1838, and after more than ten years in the planning, the famous United States Exploring Expedition is set to launch into uncharted waters from the coast of Virginia. A convoy of seven ships filled with astronomers, mapmakers, naturalists, and the sailors charged with getting them around the world, the "Ex. Ex." is finally underway, with much fanfare. Aboard the convoy as ship's linguist is Wiki Coffin. Half New Zealand Maori and half American, Wiki speaks numerous languages and is expected to help the crew navigate the Pacific islands that are his native heritage. But just before departure Wiki, subject to the unfortunate bigotry of the time, is arrested for a vicious murder he didn't commit. The convoy sails off, but just before the ships are out of reach Wiki is exonerated, set free to catch up with his ship and sail on. The catch: the local sheriff is convinced that the real murderer is aboard one of the seven ships of the expedition, and Wiki is deputized to identify the killer and bring him to justice. Full of the evocative maritime detail and atmosphere that have won her numerous awards for her nonfiction, Joan Druett's A Watery Grave is the mystery debut of a masterful maritime writer.

Presentation Discovering the two great cosmic principles. As we get used to observing and listening to nature, we come into contact with the soul of the different kingdoms and elements, such as that of water and fire. Water is the symbol of the raw material, the matrix of life, and this life came out of the water thanks to the principle of fire, symbol of the spirit, which set this matter in motion. So life on earth was also born from the action of fire on water. In this work these two elements are considered as the two principles of creation, like the feminine - the horizontal line - and the masculine - the vertical line: from these two assembled lines is born the symbol of the cross whose origin dates back to the oldest antiquity. Numerous analogies and explanations clarify the meanings and influences of these elements on the physical, psychological, psychic and spiritual levels. 'Our psychic life is shaped and moulded every day by the forces and influences we allow to enter and impregnate us. This is why it is essential to have a store of lovely pictures that we can conjure up in our minds often, pictures that are with us day and night, so that our thoughts may be constantly in touch with all that is most elevated, pure and sacred. And what is more beautiful, more poetic or more full of meaning than water and fire, and the different forms in which they appear to us? You can fill your whole life with these pictures, and absorb them until they impregnate every cell of your body.'
