They couldn't find anyone to be a lobby host for this morning's service at church so Dale volunteered to go in. I stayed home, poured myself some Bailey's and endeavored to finish the ghost story I started yesterday.
The teaser on the back of the book, The Captain of the Pole-Star, says: "When the Pole-Star is trapped in arctic ice, it's voyage comes to a halt and the lives of the crew are in danger. Superstition soon takes hold as the frightened men claim to hear ghosts in the darkness - but it's the captain's increasingly strange behavior that concerns the doctor most."
I quite liked the story and in doing a little research discovered that Arthur Conan Doyle was actually a ship's doctor on a whaling ship just like the main character in the story.
Note: While I was reading Sylvester hopped up on the couch and settled in on my chest and stayed there until I finished the story.
