THE GHOST PIRATES
_"Strange as the glimmer of the ghastly light That shines from some vast crest of wave at night."_
THE GHOST PIRATES
William Hope Hodgson
1909
To Mary Whalley
"Olden memories that shine against death's night-- Quiet stars of sweet enchantments, That are seen In Life's lost distances..."
The World of Dreams
Author's Preface
This book forms the last of three. The first published was "_The Boats of the 'Glen Carrig'"; the second, "The House on the Borderland_"; this, the third, completes what, perhaps, may be termed a trilogy; for, though very different in scope, each of the three books deals with certain conceptions that have an elemental kinship. With this book, the author believes that he closes the door, so far as he is concerned, on a particular phase of constructive thought.
