"Folks say that if you listen real close at the height of the full
moon, when the wind is blowin' off Nantucket Sound from the nor'
east and the dogs are howlin' for no earthly reason, you can hear
the awful screams of the crew of the "Ellie May," a sturdy whaler
Captained by John McTavish; for it was on just such a night when the
rum was flowin' and, Davey Jones be damned, big John brought his men
on deck for the first of several screaming contests."
