Which Wellman short was that, btw? I'm embarrassed to not
know (or remember) off the top... TM

I recently reread an old short story by Manly Wade
Wellman set in the 1800s. A sea captain of a slave ship, in
order to avoid being caught with contraband slaves on board
by a British man-of-war, orders the slaves shacked to the
anchor chain. He drops anchor and the slaves go overboard
with it. No more evidence. Years later, back in the Carolinas
in his home, he is visited by the monstrous fish-eaten
ghostly carcasses of the slaves he sent overboard, who
surround his home and drive him mad.
