Roger followed him slowly.
As yet there had been nothing discovered which would lead to the identification of the vessel.
But as he was crossing the main deck on his way to the cabin Frank came upon a ghastly sight.
Flat upon the deck lay the grinning skull and bones of a man.
Frank stepped over them and reached the cabin door.
He passed through.
The cabin showed that it had been luxuriously furnished.
Upon the walls hung a variety of nautical instruments, and also a variety of firearms.
These were nearly consumed with rust.
There were several paintings, but the canvas had rotted through, and little crabs played hide and seek in the corners of the frames.
