On arriving back in Falmouth they were shocked by being sentenced to death, later commuted to six months imprisonment.
Oh, what terrible nightmares they must have endured... haunted by the blood from that poor dead lad.

In 1884 the Mignonette was wrecked by a rogue wave. Four men drifted in a dinghy, starving, and although surrounded by water, it drove them mad for it could not be consumed. The cabin boy drifted into a coma so they slit his throat and drunk his blood. I guess desperate times demand desperate measures yet the sea crazy wild-eyed sailors were rescued.

I'd say those guys were infernally lucky--to get only six months for their little "vampire spree!" Nice little blood-sucker yarn. Comments are closed.
