Mr Captain and the Nymph'—a 'Little Novel' by Wilkie Collins
Why has a seasoned sea captain abandoned his ship, resolved never to marry, and come to hate the sight of the sea? The answer lies in an extraordinary voyage aboard the Fortuna, blown off course to an uncharted Polynesian island. There he becomes captivated by Aimata, the daughter of a powerful priest, whose home on a neighbouring island is strictly forbidden to strangers.
Little Novels, published in 1887, is a collection of fourteen short stories by Wilkie Collins. Revised by the author, these stories had appeared in various British and American periodicals over the previous ten years, very often with different titles. They are stand-alone stories dealing with a variety of subjects: love, marriage, the supernatural, class, money, and murder; most of them contain a mystery or twist to the tale which is bound to delight fans of Collins' best-known novels, The Woman in White and The Moonstone.
Mr Captain and the Nymph is the ninth story in the collection. It was originally published as 'The Captain's Last Love' in The Spirit of the Times on 23 December 1876, and in Belgravia in January 1877.
