This story caught me with it's headline:

....Rat infestation leaves rogue ship stranded off Alaska

Yikes! I guess it's more like Stoker's Dracula and if they've read it - or seen the movies -
they'd better not dock that ship anytime soon. Just posting it as an amusing trifle, nothing
more. Also, the vessel's name, "The Bangun Perkasa" absolutely reeks with the kind of
xenophobia that would've driven HPL up the wall.
See here:

Rats! Thousands of rats!

FWIW,

Cathexis

What happened to the crew of Lascars and their glowing idol of green jade?

Perhaps Bishop Hatto had been on board?

It's a bit ironic that the Japanese were the ones to report the "rogue" fishing vessel. Perhaps it was interfering with their illegal whaling operations...

That is a true horror story, number one I don't like ships because I cannot swim and them rats on top of that! Heck no!!
