The Frozen Pirate
Authorship not stated
You are Rodney, the mate aboard the brig Laughing Mary, fighting a storm off Cape Horn that has iced the rigging and shifted the ballast where no man can safely reach it. Captain Rosy holds course through the dark until the lookout sights an iceberg too close to clear, and the collision tears away masts, spars, and men. You wake alone on the wrecked deck an hour later: Captain Rosy dead beneath fallen rope, no other voice answering, and the hold slowly taking water through the winter night.
