A Strange Tragedy on the Antarctic Voyage
A mariner recounts a murder aboard a ship near the Horn after Captain Griffiths is slain. Miss Le Grand, once loved by Griffiths, is revealed as the killer in sleep, aided by a hidden carving knife. The doctor attributes the death to somnambulism, and Le Grand dies insane a year later in an asylum. The tale blends ghostly doubt with a grim sleepwalking confession.
