Summary "The Phantom Death, etc." by William Clark Russell is a collection of maritime tales written in the late 19th century. The stories delve into the thrilling and often mysterious world of seafaring, with a focus on the perils and supernatural occurrences that can arise at sea. The opening tale introduces the reader to the enigmatic narrative of Captain Joyce, who suffers a sudden, fatal illness during a journey and raises questions about the nature of his death." "The opening of "The Phantom Death" sets the scene aboard the barque "Lord of the Isles", where the protagonist, Mr. West, boards the ship as its sole passenger. Shortly into the journey, the captain succumbs to an inexplicable and rapid illness, which the crew speculates may be due to poisoning or a latent sickness from Brazil. As the narrative unfolds, both the captain and the first mate tragically pass away under similar mysterious circumstances. The reader is drawn into a palpable atmosphere of suspense as Mr. West grapples with the terrifying possibility of a supernatural threat on board, hinting at deeper mysteries to be unraveled in this gripping maritime tale."
