"The Strife of the Sea" by T. Jenkins Hains is a collection of fictional stories written in the early 20th century.

The overarching theme explores the struggles and triumphs of these characters against the backdrop of the ocean, emphasizing the connection between nature and the creatures that inhabit
it. The opening of the collection introduces readers to an old pelican known as the "old man," who is depicted as a dignified and solitary bird, fishing near the Sand Key Light. Through his encounters with the lighthouse keeper Sandy Shackford and a pair of predatory eagles, we see the old man's instincts and the dangers he faces in his natural environment. His struggle against the eagles symbolizes the fierce competition for survival in nature, ultimately leading to a poignant conclusion about his life and legacy.
