"The Whirlpool"
Copyright 1999
60 minutes
A Captain Underhill Thriller
Captain Underhill and
Doctor Scofield, vacationing up from Cape Cod, encounter more adventure
than they sought.
First,
they offer a ride to a beautiful park ranger. Then, they're kidnapped
by an escaped convict. To top it all off, they are all swept into
a harrowing merry-go-round on a busted-loose ferry platform, which
is being sucked into the spiral maw of one of Nature's most awesome
displays, a monstrous tidal whirlpool fourteen hundred feet across.
Musically
rich and with awesome sound effects and a marvelous cast, The
Whirlpool features John Stead, o.b.e. as the Announcer, regulars
David Ellsworth, Wally O'Hara, Stephen Russell and introducing Jade
Rutanen.
This
story is based on a real natural phenomenon. Just off the easternmost
point of land of the United States is situated a rare natural phenomenon;
the Old Sow, one of five large size whirlpools in the world, and
the largest 'true' one, meaning one formed from multiple colliding
currents. Passamaquoddy Bay is the breeding ground for the Old Sow
and her piglets; Eastport, Maine is where you'll find it.
