... a few dozen stranded sailors and passengers were hauled out of the sea, each claiming that their ship caught fire mid-voyage between Hurm and North Point. The story goes that the whole ship went up in a blazing inferno, the passengers and crew diving overboard, only to turn and see the inferno take the shape of a massive dragon before the whole ship went down in a steamy haze of white smoke. Those who rescued the stranded lot discredited the tale, attributing it to delirium from hunger or shock, but some wonder how so many 'delirious' people came up with the exact same tale.
