Castaway by Arthur C. Clarke - Caught in a storm he is thrown far from home and his very existence is in doubt.
In 1938 in the UK in 1938 a new magazine appeared, Fantasy would publish an issue that year and two the next and then disappear. It reappeared in 1946 with 3 issues over the next two years and, poof, it was gone again, this time for good.
Castaway appeared in the April 1947 issue but it was credited to Charles Willis although it was written by Arthur C. Clarke. Almost 20 years later it reappeared in a collection of science fiction stories called Strange Signposts.
