Devil in the Night Sailors Tale of Peter the Eagle
A fragmentary 19th century sea yarn recounts a brutal murder aboard a ship and a later legend of Peter the Eagle, cursed by superstition. The tale details a captain’s murder by a Cornwall-born mariner, the crew’s fear, and a dramatic spectral belief around a devilish ghostly presence aboard the vessel.
