| 520 | _aThe judgment of Johan Coull by Frederick Sleath is a nautical short story written in the early 20th century. It follows North Sea salvors who uncover a wartime mystery involving a famed whaling captain, German submarines, and a ghostly, weed-draped ship; the likely topic is the moral reckoning and revenge born from submarine atrocities at sea. A salvage crew aboard the Seabird, led by Big Jim Martin, anchors over a sunken liner and stumbles on five intact German U‑boats and the wreck of an Arctic Line freighter tied to the loss of Johan Coull’s son. In a breathless dawn calm, a phosphorescent, weed-covered vessel rises: the Arctic Belle, Coull’s own whaler. Securing her with pontoons and pumps, the men find unsettling clues—women’s cabins, a full courtroom rigged in the hold, a hanged skeleton aloft, and a compartment of chained men drowned—suggesting Coull had captured U‑boat crews to judge them for crimes after his boy’s death. Deeper in, they discover Coull dead at a broken door and, inside, a German sailor and a girl dead in each other’s arms beside auger holes that scuttled the ship; Big Jim infers she freed her lover, who sabotaged boats and pumps and chose to sink with her, thwarting Coull’s “trial.” In somber respect, the salvors strip their gear and let the Arctic Belle settle back into the sea, leaving the grim judgment and its secrets buried.
