Vessel* That Seemed to Be Moved by the Spirit of Destruction. There is an old Cornish legend of a phantom ship which is seen in or off Porthcurno harbor and which, unlike most ghosts, has a terrifying habit of pursuing any vessel which it sights. If it catches its victim there is a collision, but no roar of inrushing water. At the moment of contact the ghost ship vanishes into thin air, and the puzzled crew of the other vessel rub their eyes in terrified amazement. To any one who knows the legend the vessel that saw the phantom ship Is, however, doomed. Before the next N«w Tearls day she-will be sunk in collision with another vessel or a rock. One wonders whether the original of this phantom at all resembled that notable and appropriately named yacht Satanita. The Satanita was a fine and very powerful cutter, which originally belonged to Mr. C. D. Clarke and after ward to Sir Maurice Fitzgerald. The Satanita was a hard weather craft, but let the breeze be the least heavier than she liked and she would be seized with what seemed more like demoniacal possession than anything else, and even with four men banging on her helm she would sometimes take charge and rush right up into the wind. She was the cause of several serious accidents, the worst of which hap pened at the Mudhook club’s regatta in 1894. On that occasion she was be having in the most perfect fashion when suddenly and without the slightest warning she flung all control, and, just as a race horse will sometimes “savage" an opponent, she dashed in a mad fury at Valkyrie II. and sank her like a stone. Well was the Satanita called the "demon” yacht. But it is not only sailing ships that act at times in a strange and unac countable fashion. Some years ago the British warships Pique, Mutine, Ro sario and Brltomart entered Klukiang harbor and dropped anchor in single file. Presently a steamer which had been discharging her cargo unan chored and began to steam out. She was just abreast of the war ships when she suddenly made straight for the Pique. The war ship’s officers and men saw the man at the steamer’s wheel doing all he knew to keep her off, but she flatly refused to answer her helm and went crashing into the Pique, smashing her boats and davits. After clearing her she went for the Mutine, but luckily did not strike her full. However, she carried the Mu tine’s bowsprit clear away. Not yet satisfied, she made a rush at the Ro sario, but by superhuman efforts on both ships the mad steamer was pre vented’ from doing more than graze the third warship. Something of the same kind was seen in the Thames a few years ago when the British steamship Poplar, turning to enter her dock, was struck and cut down to the water line by the French vessel Cordilleras. She at once began to fill, and the captain or dered full speed ahead for the purpose ’ of beaching her. f Instead of making for the beach the ! Poplar made a sudden rush in a great r circle out into the river, smashing into everything she came across. Then, as if filled with a spirit of revenge, she made for the vessel which had so ter ribly damaged her. The Cordilleras tried in vain to get out of the way, but the Poplar smash f ed into her, damaging her so severely r that ’ she, - tootghad _to*beibeached — LIGHT UP The Safe, Clean and Comfortable Way.

The real reason, however, is that their delicate gill filaments or membranes become dry and stick together, so that no air can pass between them. Thus they lose the power to imbibe necessary oxygen, and the circulation of their blood stops. The painful gasping of a fish out of water is nature’s effort to free the passage through the fila ments^^ _
