The ship's parson dies on Christmas and vows to return one year later to preach and to heal." In the new year the ship is wrecked. When Christmas Eve returns, the captain, his lame son, and a skeptical shipmate return to the wreckage to see if there was anything to the old parson's promise.
Maybe this isn't the most inspired fiction, but I like it as an illustration of the Christmas ghost story. The author takes pains to tie in the notion of ghosts with the Biblical Christmas story.
