A work of fiction written in the early 20th century. This story is part of the collection titled ''Captains All,'' which explores the lives of sailors and the superstitions associated with maritime life. The book delves into the realm of the supernatural and the eerie experiences of sailors as they navigate the unpredictable waters of the sea. The narrative follows a young boy who embarks on a voyage aboard the brig ''Endeavour'', where he encounters various superstitions and an unsettling event involving a crew member named Jem Dadd. After Dadd's sudden death, his mysterious reappearance as a strange, waterlogged man leads to fear and confusion amongst the crew. As they grapple with the possibility of Dadd returning from the dead, they discover the truth about the new arrival, who poignantly struggles to communicate his own identity and the fate of his family. Ultimately, the story emphasizes themes of fear, superstition, and the bonds of humanity even in the face of the inexplicable.
