In questa Novella Papà Catrame ci racconterà delle Murene, un altro misterioso pesce a cui sono legate tante storie misteriose e tante superstizioni dei marinai.

La novella che racconterà Mastro Catrame durante la nona serata riguarda un gigantesco mostro, con le sembianze di un serpente; anche questa volta il capitano della nave riuscirà a fornire una spiegazione scientifica del fenomeno?

Esistono veramente le Sirene? E' difficile credere all'esistenza di queste creature, ma sicuramente Papà Catrame è in grado di raccontarci qualche cosa su di loro...

Il Vascello dei Topi è la settima novella che Papà Catrame racconta all'equipaggio. Il racconto inizia con la spiegazione scientifica che il Capitano fornisce in merito al precedente episodio, e prosegue con un racconto di una nave infestata da topi, con i quali Papà Catrame finirà con il fare amicizia.

Un drammatico e misterioso naufragio di una nave predestinata ad abissarsi; questo sarà l'argomento della sesta novella che vi racconterà Papà Catrame, e che anche il Capitano difficlmente riuscirà a spiegare in modo scientifico.

E' possibile che mastro Catrame sia stato re di una isola? Pare proprio di sì, come scopriremo in questo racconto, tratto dalle Novelle Marinareche di Emilio Salgari, dove il nostro vecchio marinaio subirà un naufragio e verrà ospitato da una tribù di indigeni molto, molto, ospitali.
