(urth) Faterh Inire Theory cont.

[David Stockhoff]

I can only conclude that the evidence points to a ship that landed 
properly. I don't recall the passages well enough to have an opinion on 
how close to the antechamber the known shipwreck had to be or whether it 
was a wreck or a crashlanding.

But the potential number of stranded ships must be large. This could be 
"another" ship. The House Absolute would not be a strange place for an 
ailing ship to land.

Recall the crashlanded ship in the lake in The Ziggurat. Wolfe 
definitely takes these details into account.
