"If I am going to be drowned - if I am going to be drowned — if I am going to be drowned,
why, in the name of the seven mad gods who rule the sea, was I allowed to come thus far
and contemplate sand and trees?� What does this repetition (in paragraph 71, paragraph
144, and paragraph 173) contribute to the tone and overall piece?
