The Frozen Pirate

Paul Rodney is the only survivor of a terrible storm which leaves his ship wrecked on huge Antarctic iceberg in the late 1800's. He slowly drifts south through the frozen vastness, seemingly sentenced to die alone. The mate eventually discovers an ancient pirate ship locked tight in the massive ice fields. Aboard the pirate ship, he discovers large stocks of food, drink, and coal... As well as numerous members of the pirate crew, all frozen solid. Building a fire to thaw the supplies, Rodney is astonished when one of the pirates revives, coming back to life. The old pirate, frozen for fifty years, begins to describe a treasure before slowly falling into madness, endangering Rodney's survival and escape back to civilization.
