A short, atmospheric, eerie story from Arthur Conan Doyle, about a whaling ship caught in the arctic ice, and its erratic captain. The descriptions of the scenery and ghostly encounters were great and Seth’s accompanying black and white drawings were especially effective in the arctic setting. Overall though I didn’t find the story itself very exciting. I wished we had more build up of the captain’s moods and that the ending was more explanatory than it was.
