In 1881 the Ellen Austen was passing the Azores when it saw an
abandoned ship. It stopped to help and three of its men went
on board. However, due to a storm the boats were separated
and the Ellen Austen had to come back again a few days later. To
their surprise, the men on board the abandoned ship had
completely disappeared and so they sent another three men on
board. Again they were separated by a storm and when they
came back some time later, not only had the ship disappeared
but also their own crew who had gone aboard.
