the disasters are recounted when the ship that the narrator is riding on is swept by a whirlpool. After the disaster, only two people including the narrator are survived. The device of reading a message in a bottle is well-known because it looks mysterious and clandestine. It is commonly used in movie or novel. The message is successful in keeping the reader's interest because people's curiosity is aroused by it's magical image. My favorite quote is "The circles rapidly grow small - we are plunging madly within the grasp of the whirlpool - and amid a roaring, and bellowing, and thundering of ocean and tempest, the ship is quivering - oh God! - and going down!" because it represents sense of terror of the narrator well. In my opinion, this story represents the author's misfortune and desperate life which is formed irrelevantly to his will.
Describe the disasters. Was there another ship?
