The Wreck of the Mary Deare
by Hammond Innes
We think of the Channel as a placid, dull bit of sea, but towards Brittany it’s very rough and sailors think of it as a particularly nasty sea. So, this man is on a little boat out there and he spots an abandoned ship. There has been a terrible storm and only the captain is left and he’s gone completely mad.
