| Summary | "Scènes de mer, Tome II" by Edouard Corbière is a dramatic narrative likely written in the early 19th century. This work seems to delve into the harsh realities of maritime life, focusing on the ordeal of the crew and passengers of a ship called the "Mascarenhas", who face dire circumstances at sea, including disease and despair. The book features the characters of the captain and the afflicted crew, highlighting the themes of hope, suffering, and human endurance in a forgotten corner of the ocean. At the start of the story, the "Mascarenhas" is stuck in a devastating calm in the equatorial sea, with its crew suffering from a debilitating epidemic exacerbated by the lack of fresh water. As the days stretch into a nightmarish saga marked by hopelessness, the captain desperately attempts to keep morale up, promising that help may come with approaching clouds. The moment that hope glimmers with the sight of another ship, the situation spirals into chaos as a small contingent sent to seek help encounters tragedy. The scene is one of psychological tension, as madness takes hold among the passengers, culminating in a dark revelation about despair and the unknown as they encounter the enigmatic "Fantôme" and its chilling captain, the infamous Capitaine-Noir.
