A sailor lost overboard should be simply drowned and gone, but on this ship, something of him lingers, wet and shining, refusing to stay dead.

F. Marion Crawford's 1903 novella, by the author of 'The Upper Berth,' is a chilling nautical ghost story. Atmospheric, dread-soaked, classic supernatural fiction. Read it for a superbly creepy sea-tale of guilt and a drowned man who will not rest, from a master of the Victorian ghost story.
