_Being an account of their Adventures in the Strange places of the Earth, after the foundering of the good ship Glen Carrig through striking upon a hidden rock in the unknown seas to the Southward; as told by John Winterstraw, Gent., to his son James Winterstraw, in the year 1757, and by him committed very properly and legibly to manuscript_

By William Hope Hodgson.

"The Boats of the 'Glen Carrig'" by William Hope Hodgson is a horror novel published in 1907. Written in archaic style as a firsthand account from 1757, it follows survivors of a shipwreck who escape in two lifeboats. Their desperate journey takes them through nightmarish landscapes: muddy shores haunted by strange cries, abandoned vessels harboring deadly secrets, and blood-draining creatures lurking in darkness. Stranded on mysterious islands amid a vast Sargasso Sea, the men face monstrous threats while struggling to repair their damaged boat and survive. (Summary by Project Gutenberg, written by machine.)
