There were nobody else damn fool

enough to keep a boat out in that bow.

But wheres her boat?

What is he saying?

She had a boat.

I don't reckon on what

you talking on young fellow.

But there weren't no other boat at all

without so many persons

taking off that day.

You've been picked by boats from there.

Can't figure out why Eke ever

rented you the boat.

You saw Jennie again,

didn't you Adam?

Its aweful.

I tried to hold on to her.

But the wave...

Take it easy.

At least, you saw her again.

Yes, she...

I'm glad you at least believe,

about Jennie.

Yes.

You do, don't you?

You believe it. Thats

all that matters.

What ?

Where did you get that scarf?

This ? Was near, when I

found you on the beach.

Yes Spinney. I saw Jennie again.

You mean this is Jennie's ?

Its all right.

I haven't lost her.

Everythings all right now.

"Portrait of Jennie."

Isn't she beautiful ?

- I wonder if she's real.

- She must be.

What is it matter ? She was real to him,

or she couldn't look so alive.

How very wise you are.

Oh! Eben is it really me?

I think, someday,

it will hang in a museum

and people would come from

all over the world to see it.
