Mystery Brig Princess of London Abandoned at Sea
In a rough Pacific voyage, the brig Princess of London is found abandoned and crewless. A four man boarding party discovers no signs of mutiny or distress but hears eerie cries from the hold over two nights. Despite exhaustive search no living crew is found, leading to the brig being sailed to a Chilean port and later presumed lost in a gale. The narrator offers a theory of a swordfish piercing the hull as the cause of the mysterious sounds.
