At the bottom of the country, an outpost full of families is closed in, and Five-Eight is too big for its river.
Lieutenant (junior grade) Gatewood takes Five-Eight south to the cape to guard Khang’s junks, with three Vietnamese trainees aboard, Cường, Kiệt and Nhạn, learning the boat from Villarreal, Fenn and Moody. Brackett touches Yoakum’s water skis, still lashed to the cabin top, every time they cross a bar. The first morning, the fishing floats drifting toward the anchorage turn out to be oil drums, and one goes up higher than the radar mast.
Up Cape Creek, Sergeant Snodgrass and the outpost commander, Quới, hold the Rạch Mũi wall with about two hundred people inside it, soldiers, families and the whole hamlet. The tree line is full of the enemy, the bar is too shallow for a loaded Swift, and Châu Kiến Nhơn is walking that bar at low water with a stake-net pole. Then the weather turns, and orders come to give up the cape.
