The cargo, a load of cattle
shifted position
and the steamer lost balance.
A woman panicked by rushing water
and the rising horizon
locked herself in the washroom.
It sank near enough to shore
they could have been saved
swam to land like the rest.
They found her coat, dragged it
to the surface
thinking it was Iona.
Her body was found, caught on
the grappling hook
but lost by an unsteady hand.
