His wallet was found later that day floating in the ocean while his car was parked on the beach with the keys still in the ignition. The search for his body continued for several days.

“Night is a dead monotonous period under a roof; but in the open world it passes lightly, with its stars and dews and perfumes, and the hours are marked by changes in the face of Nature.

—Robert Louis Stevenson (1850–1894)
