About this listen

The Oblong Box is the tragic tale of a summer sea voyage aboard the ship Independence, sailing from Charleston, South Carolina, to New York City. The narrator’s old friend, Cornelius Wyatt, is onboard with his wife and two sisters and an oblong pine box. A hurricane near Cape Hatteras leads to tragedy, and the truth is revealed about Wyatt’s family.
