I post this because a number of people on this list have been following
the writing that I have done on the New Carissa. Arthur
THE NEW CARISSA: FRANKENSTEIN REVISTED
by Arthur J Miller
"I shall die, and what I now feel be no longer felt. Soon these burning
miseries will be extinct. I shall ascend my funeral pile trriumphantly and
exult in the agony of the torturing flames. The light of that conflagration
will fade away; my ashes will be swept into the sea by the winds. My
spirit will sleep in peace, or if it thinks, it will not surely think thus.
Farewell."
The final words of Frankenstein's monster
From Frankenstein by Mary Shelly, 1816
From ages untold some of humankind has sought to conquer all that is
and bend it to their will. As if creation itself is but a servant to those
wouldbe masters of all. But sometimes, these wouldbe masters of all,
find that they cannot master the forces of Mother Earth, sometimes
they find that they cannot even master their own creations.
The New Carissa, is nothing more than a modered day Frankenstein's
monster Which upon a stormy night went aground fouling Mother Eather
with its spilled oil. The foolish wouldbe masters thought still they could
control their created monster and set fire to the oil upon their creation.
The heat from the fire and the forces of nature, wind and surf tore the
metal creature in half, but only a little of the oil did burn. Time and time
again they tried to reset the flames only to be met with failure.
Then the creature's masters tried to tow the bow section out to sea.
But the forces of Mother Earth proved greater and swept the bow back
up upon the beach. And again oil stained the beaches and sunk below
the surf. At first the masters tried to deny the truth, for they were caught
in a lie. They had told the world that the oil that was still on their
monster was no longer a threat. But that nonthreating oil was washing
up on beaches all the way up to Long Beach, Washington.
They towed their metal creation off the second beach and out to sea.
Upon the old ship they lowered their exposive "experts" who planted
their exposive charges. From a distince the charges were set off, but
this Frankenstein monster would not die an easy death. Determinded
that their execution would be carried out the foolish ones open fired
with 70 rounds from their 5 inch gun. Though battered from the onslaght,
the defiant monster would not go down. Finally a nuclear submarine was
brought in to the battle and it hurled a torpedo and brought the New
Carissa down.
The stern of the New Carissa is still there around upon the beach. It
will take much longer to be rid of that section. When done the foolish
ones will think that the end of their ordel with have come. But upon the
seas of the world sail a thousand New Carissas each one capable of
becoming a sequal, for these foolish masters understand not,
Frankenstein's monster has many sons.
The insanity that is played out upon our oceans does not only effect
the environment of Mother Earth, but it also has a human toil. A little
known situation has been going off the coast of South Padre Island,
Texas. 23 Pakistan crewmen of the Delta Pride, a brokendown freighter,
have been stranded abroad that ship for 10 months. The SOS calls of
the crew were ignored. They ran out of fuel so there was no power for
lights or cooking. For water they had to save rainwater and had to fish
in order to eat. Though the Delta Pride had made millions of dollars
hauling coal, bauxite, scrap iron and grain, the crew was abandon.
Finally they were taken off that ship to be sent home after some people
started to protest about what was happening. The rich maritime owners
and the U.S. government would have just left them there to die.
