epps coolly puts out her cigarette as a circle has gathered around her and the girlfriend, anxious to see a girl fight. epps hangs on to the top of the crane as it comes to the starboard anchor alley in the bow of the chimera. dodge pokes his face out from the other side. a tattered, bound book lies in the refuse of a forgotten corner. epps picks it up. the cover has been ripped off and the pages are torn. but, as she looks through it, she sees that it is the ship's log. epps scrambles behind a deck vent. as epps holds there she sees the vent opening. she pulls herself up and climbs inside. epps is forced down by the boiler, trapped between it and the bulkhead.
