Preceded by the chapter [SEA PIECES](arke:01KG8AJF3ZEWKH5HCQRYZV1ZB4), "THE HAGLETS" is followed by the chapter [THE AEOLIAN HARP](arke:01KG8AJF44PT8VDSP1GYRD0TV5).
## Contents
The chapter details a narrative involving an Admiral and his fleet, following a naval victory. It describes the Admiral's ship, the captured trophies, and the subsequent journey at sea. A recurring motif is the presence of "haglets" (sea-fowl) that follow the ships, initially the vanquished and then the victorious. The poem shifts to depict a severe storm at sea, the crew's struggle, and ultimately the sinking of the Admiral's ship, with the Admiral himself perishing with his trophies and sailors. The narrative concludes with an ethereal description of his final resting place beneath the waves. The text is divided into three chunks: [Chunk 1](arke:01KG8AK0QSXB4CFYYFJZNPDKC8), [Chunk 2](arke:01KG8AK1E21S5YCMAZKNV49YJ4), and [Chunk 3](arke:01KG8AK1DVRNMBXRN6D0SFBZ8X).
