Note: This story first appeared in Once a Week, June 23, 1860, signed "W. C.", which author is identified as William Cooper by The Curran Index.
Not speculative: the woman believes that she speaks to the spirit of her son and that she is destined to bring God's judgment on the murderous captain, but the story depicts her as deranged.
Synopsis: The narrator sees a crazed woman wandering by the seashore, cursing the captain of a certain ship every time it comes into sight, and a local witness tells him the terrible and murderous events that led to her madness.
