Dick Rodney or The Adventures of An Eton Boy Chapter VI
In Matanzas the Briton Sam Weston meets his old shipmate Jack Hislop and takes passage aboard a polacca found adrift. He endures bleak streets, a turf of danger, and a night in the dark cabin with two dead Spaniards, fearing spirits until his dog Hector reveals the truth of eerie glowings and a moored ghost tale resolves with a voyage toward the Clyde.
