The Phantom Death and Other Stories

W. CLARK RUSSELL (1844-1911) was an English author and a sailor for several years before he turned to journalism and fiction. He was well-regarded in his day for THE WRECK OF THE GROSVENOR and for THE DEATH SHIP A STRANGE STORY (sometimes reprinted as THE FLYING DUTCHMAN). He wrote much on nautical topics and campaigned to improve working conditions for seamen. The Phantom Death and Other Stories collects 11 of Russell's classic horror-laced nautical stories including: The Phantom Death Brokers' Bay The Lazarette of the Huntress A Memory of the Pacific So Unnecessary! The Major's Commission A Nightmare of the Doldrums Try For Her in Fifty The Chiliman Tragedy The Secret of the Dead Mate and The Transport.
