The Ghost Pirates.
by William Hope Hodgson.
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 kins.h.i.+p. With this book, the author believes that he closes the door, so far as he is concerned, on a particular phase of constructive thought.
