A keeper or guardian of historical records and memories.
Chapter III
The fires in the west blazed away, and solemnity spread over the sea. Electric lights began to blink like eyes. Night menaced the voyagers with a dangerous darkness, and fear came to bind their souls together. They huddled fraternally in the middle of the raft. "I feel like a molecule," said the freckled man in subdued tones.
