  American Authors Gone Missing Exploring the Mysterious Disappearances of Literary Voices On the morning of September 9, 1961, David Kenyon Webster set sail from Santa Monica pier in his 11-foot sailing dinghy, the Tusitala —a name borrowed from the Tahitians' affectionate term for Robert Louis Stevenson, meaning "teller of tales." He had rigged bait, heavy line, and hook, planning an afternoon of shark fishing off the Southern California coast. By evening, when his wife Barbara arrived at the pier to help him beach the boat, Webster had not returned. He never would.
