Release date is 2025-09-06 Roger Frank and Sue Clark "Through Keeweenaw by Keith Henney" is a nautical short story written in the early 20th century. Set on the Great Lakes, it blends maritime realism with a subtle supernatural edge, focusing on a fogbound approach to the Portage Lake Canal and a captain haunted by past losses. The likely topic is a tense passage through fog where grief, superstition, and wireless technology intersect. A radio operator narrates as a new skipper, Captain Trinder, takes command of the steamer Chippewa after years of avoiding the canal where his wife drowned and long after losing his grandson in another wreck. Fascinated by the idea that the dead might speak through radio, Trinder presses on into thick fog near the canal entrance, where the foghorn’s direction proves unreliable and the ship edges dangerously close to the breakwater. At the crisis, the operator receives a strange signal—“SSE… SSE, Anna”—which the captain treats as guidance; steering south-southeast, they pass a small boat named Anna and slip safely into the channel, arriving only slightly late. Though the signal likely came from that craft’s call letters, the captain believes his wife sent it, and the tale ends on an ambiguous note between coincidence and faith.
