A short story from the British Library Tales of the Weird collection From the Depths. Most of Frank H. Shawâs stories have a nautical theme and âHeld by the Sargasso Seaâ is no exception. In this short story, Captain Chisholmâs pride and joy, The Swordfish, is taken from him by a mutinous crew. But the sea seems to take matters into its own hands to reunite the old captain with his beloved ship.
