The story, what little I could piece together, followed a Japanese harbor master named Kenji in 1984. He discovers a sealed metal cylinder washed ashore after a typhoon. Inside: a handwritten logbook in Dutch, a child’s seashell necklace, and a photograph of a lighthouse that doesn’t exist on any map. The logbook’s final entry is dated 1942. The last word: Kabitan —an archaic Dutch-Japanese pidgin term for "captain." No scene log
