At the World’s Outposts, James Francis Dwyer , single work short story adventure

The story of Stannard the Terrible who lives alone on an island in a small shack that is filled with treasure that he has looted from the wrecked ships that have come ashore. In telling the tale Dwyer recounts the chant that local sailors sing: 'Stannard the Terrible waits on his isle/With a laugh on his lips and a heart full of guile, / The current from Blerveaux brings treasure ships down / And he laughs when they strike and their brave sailors drown, / For Stannard the Terrible finds in the hold / Rubies and emeralds, diamonds and gold.'
