The Voyage of the Bon-Chancce is a short story included in Twelve Tales of the Macabre. It includes an encounter with Old Capp, excerpted below:
Old Capp was singing in his whining voice in the galley, the same song he always sang, just as I had heard it every night on that long, miserable voyage to Rokushima Taiyoo. It was so familiar a sound that it was several minutes before I remembered we had buried him at sea--truth be told, that we had "buried" him alive, to keep the plague that had made him a living skeleton from taking hold in the ship and killing us all.
I heard his footsteps in the passageway, and his imbecile laugh; he stopped at the door of my cabin, and I could feel his gaze on me. "Like a bad penny, ain't I?" he asked, his voice high and querulous. "I always come back, matie."
-The Voyage of the Bon-Chance, from Twelve Tales of the Macabre, Jean Lafolie[1]
