A Fruitless Harvest	Description
0 - 5	Mutton Island has been struggling this festival-time – the zee's usual bounties are absent. "Fathomking reckons we owe 'im tribute," croaks a Nine-Fingered Fisherman as you disembark. "Took all the fishes away, the rotter."
6 - 7	The finished effigy […] is […] the mismatched product of a hundred hands […] it is difficult to see whether the shape beneath is human [...] This is the culmination of Mutton Island's devotions. [...] The drowning of the King-in-Coral is at hand.
8	Bubbles and song and the grave, grey-whiskered face of the Custodial Chef. The King-in-Coral is dragged downward, driftwood and salvage swallowed by the zee, until [...] The effigy is drowned. [...]
9	"The fish have returned!" The cry goes up among the islanders [...] [...] The water throngs with fish of all dread sizes and aspects, and the zee blooms with subtle shades of azure and moss. [...] it is positively brimming with vitality.
