Le trois-mâts fantôme

A moon‑lit night drapes the tranquil waters of Saint‑Malo in silver, where the rugged cliffs and the three‑town horizon mirror each other in a glassy sea. In this timeless bay, the solitary fisherman Jagu Rebecquy pulls a mysteriously preserved body from the depths, a stranger clutching a jeweled ring and a fine watch that hint at a hidden wealth. His simple catch quickly draws the curious crew of the elegant yacht La Circé, whose lanterns flicker against the dark waves as they scramble to understand the dead man’s story.

The scene shifts from quiet fishing to a bustling deck, where sailors, bruised by exhaustion, exchange bewildered glances and tentative remarks. A woman’s tearful cry—“my poor uncle!”—echoes across the water, adding a personal tragedy to the mounting mystery. The strangers aboard the yacht, along with Rebecquy, must decide whether to honor the dead, investigate his enigmatic belongings, or simply return him to the deep.

As the night deepens, the quiet harbor seems to awaken, hinting at a legendary vessel that haunts these waters—a three‑masted phantom that may be more than a rumor. The first clues point toward secret fortunes, concealed identities, and a possible curse that could pull everyone aboard into a perilous chase. Listeners are invited to follow the fishermen, the yacht’s crew, and the grieving relatives into a tale where the line between reality and the uncanny blurs with each crashing wave.
