At Nick's loft, Nick awakens as his phone rings and his answering machine picks up. Nick's voice is heard saying, Yeah, Nick Knight. I'm either in bed or incommunicado, so if you want to leave your name and number, go ahead. The answering machine beeps then Schanke says, Knight? Knight? Hey, Nick, rise and shine. Stonetree's sweating blood. Duty calls. I know you're much too cool to come out and play out in the daytime. Nick is listening to the message and stretches with a smile on face.

Admiral Schank and the “Sliding Keel"

John Schank (1740 -1823) was a British sailor who was very skilled at mechanical design and constructed a cot fitted with pulleys that allowed it to be adjusted by the person lying in it. this won him the nickname “Old Purchase”, from the navy term for using a block and tackle to gain mechanical advantage.

Admiral John Schank by John James Masquerier 1799 (x)

Schank was one of the tiny handful of sailors who made the transition from the lower deck to flag rank. He joined the Royal Navy at an early age during the American War of Independence he was placed in charge of local building of ships to battle the revolutionaries on the Great Lakes.

He was the first person in the western world to advocate the use of a keel that would slide through the centre of the boat and could be raised when not in use. This board made the ships faster, easier to manoeuvre in shallow waters and they could no longer drift sideways so quickly. On his return to England, Schank convinced the navy of the value of adjustable keels, and a number of vessels incorporating this feature, most notably Lady Nelson, were built. She was sent on a two years expedition to chart the southeast coast of Australia, and was involved in the founding of a number of settlements there, including Melbourne and Hobart. However, the sliding keels did have some problems with leakage and jamming, and for a time they went out of favour.

Captain Molyneaux Shuldham came up with some modifications in 1809. He was a prisoner of war held by the French in Verdun, but he smuggled out a model of what he called his revolving keel. It was exhibited at the Adelaid Gallery in London, where it came ti be noticed of three brothers from New Jersey, who in 1811 patented it in the US as the centre board. This was quickly taken up and vecame a standard feature on 80% of America's enormous coastal fleet. In due course American yachtsmen saw its advantages, but few British racers took it on. An accident in 1876 was a tragic setback, however, Mohawk, a 43m schooner, had her precarious 1,8m draught made safe by a larg 9,5m centre board. Anchored off Staten Island during the preliminaries of the America's Cup, she was just setting sail for a laisure cruise when she was hit by a squall. Her centre board had not been lowered and she capsized and sank; the vice commodore of the New York Yacht Club and all his guests died. More improvements came over the years, and now the centre board, based on Schank's pioneering idea of a sliding keel, is standard fitting on yachting vessels.

Schank himself died on 6 February 1823, fellow of the Royal Society and Admiral of the Blue. Mount Schank and Cape Schank, Australia, were named in his honour in 1800 by Lieutenant James Grant during his exploratory voyage while commanding Lady Nelson.

Today, it is mine. Tomorrow, it may not be.

In July it will be two years since the accident. The world is now coming back to life, my days slowly filling up with work and chores and exercise. For now, in this liminal space between the old life and the new one, I often catch myself staring at my children. They have never been more beautiful. I chalk this up to the magic of braces––their teeth are finally coming into alignment––but I know this is ridiculous. They are beautiful because they are alive. I look at them, and I sit with the silence. Today, it is mine. Tomorrow, it may not be.

At the Toronto Coroner's Office, Natalie is looking through a giant medical magnifying glass and says, Rats. I can't get it. Here, Schanke. You try. Natalie hands a medical instrument to Schanke. Schanke looks through the giant medical magnifying glass and asks, Why is everyone so down on Hiatt? He seems like an all-right guy. Natalie adds, You are just saying that because the man shook your hand. Don't forget he was involved in that big Rothweiler probe. Schanke says, They never proved that. Natalie says, Nothing sticks to that man. Hey Nick, it's too bad you don't work the day shift. You can get in there and find something on him.

I found a copy of That Furious Lesbian: the Story of Mercedes de Acosta by Robert A. Schanke at the second hand bookstore. Book and queer history homies, is it worth a read?

When Nick is especially broody and all his friends want to comfort and support him. So he does the rational thing and avoids to them to subsequently spiral into a guilt-induced hallucination. As one does.
