Ms. Found in a Bottle

The disaster in the story was the whole ship being entirely sucked into a whirlpool. Finding the bottle, was inspiration to strive to find their way out of the whirlpool. It keep's the reader's interest because the story has the reader rooting for the men to get their way out of the whirlpool. I didn't want to stop reading until i found out what happened to them.

"To conceive the horror of my sensation is, i presume, utterly impossible; yet a curiosity to penetrate the mysteries of these awful regions."
