MS. Found in a Bottle

The disasters they encountered were a simoon which makes the ship capsize and makes the narrator and an old swede the only the survivors from the ship. They encounter a hurricane tempest, but luckily see another ship enshrouded in black. The force of the descent of this ship throws the narrator into an unknown vessel. Ensuing, a whirlpool makes the ship stagnant and precipitously brings the ship down into it. Reading a message in a bottle is very mysterious and singular. It was why it's used as a popular device. The message in the story was not supposed to be found by anyone. It was supposed to be in a bottle in the ocean. This made it successful in keeping the reader's interest. My favorite quote was "I shall from time to time continue to right in this journal, It is truethat i may not find an opportunity of transmitting it to the world, but I will not fail to make the endeavor". This shows that the story is an account from a journal that was place in a bottle and thrown in the ocean. This was very interesting.
