The Spectre Steamer And Other Tales is a collection of short stories written by J. H. Ingraham. The book contains a total of six tales, each with a different plot and setting. The stories are all set in the 19th century and are filled with suspense, mystery, and adventure.The first story, The Spectre Steamer, is about a group of passengers who board a steamship only to find that it is haunted by a ghost. The second story, The Black Avenger of the Spanish Main, is about a pirate who seeks revenge against a Spanish captain who wronged him in the past. The third story, The Haunted House in Market Street, is about a house that is said to be haunted by the ghost of a murdered woman.The fourth story, The Trapper's Revenge, is about a trapper who seeks revenge against a group of men who killed his family. The fifth story, The Phantom of the River, is about a mysterious figure who haunts a river and terrorizes the locals. The final story, The Indian Queen's Revenge, is about a Native American queen who seeks revenge against the white settlers who killed her people.Overall, The Spectre Steamer And Other Tales is a thrilling and entertaining collection of stories that will keep readers on the edge of their seats.I now approached him as he stood alone at his wheel, his head enveloped in a foxskin cap, and his person wrapped in a white shaggy pea-jacket (for we were now in a latitude many degrees higher than New Orleans), where four days before we had worn straw hats and summer garments. Forward of the wheel-house, twenty feet from us on the part of the deck above the boilers, sat one of the passengers smoking a German pipe--a very extraordinary looking man-- dark, silent, and mysterious, who had attracted much curious notice on board, both from the passengers and crew, otherwise we were alone on the vast and silent deck.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
