Irving writes of him : "This ship is of round Dutch build, that might be the Flying Dutchman or Hendrick Hudson's Halfmoon, which ran aground there seeking the northwest passage to China." He says this ship is seen all along the river from Tadpaan Zee to Hoboken. The ship is under command of the Heer of the Dunderburg.
He recounts another story of skipper Daniel Ouslesticker of Fish Hill, who, in a squall, saw a figure astride his bowsprit, which was exorcised by Domine Van Greson of Esopus, wh...o .sang the legend of St. Nicholas. He says that since that time all vessels passing the spot lower their peaks out of tribute. (Bracebridge HaU, 289.) Clark Russell in his Voyage to the Cape thus describes the wanderer: "She was painted yellow, of yellow were the dim churchyard lines that I marked her hull was coated with. She was low in the bows with a great spring aft, crowned by a kind of double poop, one above another, and what I could see of the stem was almost pear-shape, supposing the fruit inverted with the stalk sliced off.
