Excerpt
This book intentionally veers in and out of the supernatural, as thetitle implies. The officers get more and more bewildered as theywork out their position, and yet again encounter the same vesselgoing in an impossible direction.
Having warned you of this, I must say that it is a well-written book about life aboard an ocean-going steamer at about the end of the nineteenth century.
You will find it worth listening to, or reading, and I recommend it.
