It is the writer's pleasure to wasto tlmo sailing tho sea In a small craft, usually alone. Upon one of these voyages, having anchored upon tho edge of tho Nore Sands, ho awoke in tho middle ot the night to find himself enshrouded by a thick fog erle enough, tho uninitiated reader will doubtless think. Upon looking out at tho black woolly wall of fog that surrounded him, ho distinctly hoard his own nnmo hailed across tho water. No other craft was near. This struck him as be ing so peculiar that ho mentioned it to a friend 'when ho arrived at one of tho little anchorages, and tho skipper of a barge, chancing to overhear, said: "That's the or gen'leman of tho Nore! Often ot foggy nights yo may 'ear lm a-yelltng aht in a kind o' "elplesB way, but sometimes 'is language is pomething horful. They say as 'e was a first mato wot dropped overboard and swam to the sands, where 'e walked about until tho tide roso on drowndod 'im." Upon another occasion I was sailing nlong the coast of France, under the cliffs upon which stands Grls Nez lighthouse, which Is about tho most powerful light in the world. It was a very dark night, and tho revolving rays of the light house kept flashing upon the sails of my boat, lighting them like a powerful searchlight, until proceeding along tho courso I got out ot their Tango. Tho strango effect bad been forgotten, only to be remembered in time to prevent me from becoming a firm believer In ghosts. Thoro out at sea a ghostly ship was sailing; she was rather too modern, perhaps, to be a real ghost, for every Ball set like a glove ghost ships were never particular In this respect Indeed, she was ono of those flno ships out ot Glasgow which are the last words In sailing craft. From apparently nowhere a Bhlp had come m. ship uncannily glowing with an unnatural light. Her sails were surely cobwebs and her ropes were spider strings! Strange sights and sounds frequently come the way of seafarers. The grovelling hlsBlng sea, breaking through the night. Its appearance Is ghastly gray; It comes from nowhere, It fades away soon after. What could not tho imagination weave It Into? Sliapo or sound of spirits chased by tho Evil Ono, the dying wife with arms outstretched, or sound of mother's voice. Moreover, such messages as sea Bounds give have frequently come from tho lead; tho howl of tho raging gale, or the mur mur of the gentlo breeze through tho halyards, have homo the departing messago In words that wero exactly thoso the lost ono whlspored last. To tho mind of ono who knowB tho sen, it -would seem strange that sailors are not more superstitious than thoy ore, and there aro cer tatnly many reasonable excuses for their belief In such storlca as that of tho Flying Dutchman. A patch of BWlrllng vapor through the rigging ot his ship upon a dark night. Imagination does tho rest; ho has seen the Flying Dutchman. Cornelius Vanderdeckon, a Dutch navigator of long ago, was making a passago from Batavla. For days and day ho encountered heavy galea and baffling head winds whllo trying to round the Cape ot Good Hope. Struggle against the winds as ho would, bo lost as much on one tack as he gained upon tho othfer. Struggling vainly for nine hopeless weeks, ho ultimately found himself In the same position as he was in at first, the ship having made no progress. Vandordecken, to a fit of wrath, threw blmBolf on his knees upon tho deck and cursed tho Deity, swearing that ho would round tho capo If It took him till tho day of judgment. There upon enmo n fair wind, he squared his yards and set off, but nlthough his ship plowed through tho seas ho mado no headway, for tho Deity had tak en him at his word and doomed him to call tho seas for ever. Superstition has it that tho appearanco ot the phantom ship leads to certain and swift misfor tune. Old Bailors will tell of tho Bhlp of the Flying Dutchman bowling along in the very teeth of the wind, and of her overtaking their own Bhlp which was beating to windward. Somo of them say they have seen her sail clean through their ship, the swirling films ot her Balls and rigging leaving a cold clammy feeling liko tho touch of death. Cornwall In tho old days was remarkablo for Us wreckers, and Its rock-bound coast was tho sceno of mnny evil deeds. Tho Priest's Cove wrockor during his evil llfo lured many vessols to their doom upon tho cruel shoro by means ot a fnlso light hung round tho neck of a hobbled horse. To this day the good Cornish folk will tell you of tho phantom of tho wrocker aeon whon tho winds howl and tho seas rage high, carried clinging to a log of wood upon tho crests of the breaking Bcas, and how It is sent crashing upon the rocks, where In the seething foam it disap pears from Bight. Tho wide stretching sand-choked estunry of the Solway has many a ghost story and more than ono phantom ship. Tho "Spectral Shallop" Is the ghost of a ferry boat which was wrecked by a rival ferryman whllo carrying a bridal party across the bay. The ghostly boat is rowed by tho skeleton of tho cruel ferryman, and such ships as are so un lucky as to encounter this ghastly pilot are usually doomed to bo wrecked upon tho sands. No money would tempt the Solway fishermen to go out to meet tho two Danish sea-rovers whose ships, upon clear nights, aro seen gliding up one of the narrow channels which thread the dried-out sands, the high-curved prows and rows of shields along tho gunwale glittering In tho moonlight. These two piratical ships, It seems, ran Into tho Solway and dropped anchor thoro, when a sudden furious storm came up and the BhipB, which were heavily laden with plunder, sank at their, moorings with all tho villains which composed their crews. Among tho rocks upon the rugged coast 'of Kerry was f6und ono winter morning, early In tho eighteenth century, a largo galleon, mastlcss and deserted. The Kerry wrcckors crowded aboard, nnd wild was their Joy. for tho ship was laden with Ingots of silver from the Spanish Main. They gradually filled their boats until tho gunwales wero almost down to tho wator's edge, and hastily they pulled to tho shoro In order, that they might return for furthor ingotB before- tho tide roso and floated tho ship away. Nearlng the shore a huge tidal wave broke over boats and ship, and when tho wavo hnd passed, tho horri fied women watching on shoro Baw no sign re maining of boats, men or ship. Wild horses would not got a Jcxry fisherman to visit the sceno of this disaster upon tho anni versary of tho day tho grim tragedy took place, for only bad luck has come to thoso who havo seen the re-enactmont of tho affair, which Kerry folk bellovo takes place upon that day, Tho Newhaven ghost ship signified her own doom. A ship built at Newhaven in January, 1C47, having sailed away upon her maiden voy age, wob thought to have been lost at sea, when ono evening in June, during a furious thunder storm, tho well-known ship was sighted sailing Into the river mouth but straight into tho eye of the wind until sbo neared the town, when slowly Bho faded from the sight of the people who crowded on shore to watch her. The ap parition was significant tho ship was never heard of again. Tho rocky coasts of 'New England aro haunted by many ghost ships. Tho Palatine la tho best known specter. Tho coastors nnd fishermen ot Long Island Sound will toll you that when a sight or her is gotten, disastrous nnd' long-lnstlng storms will follow. Tho Palatine, a Dutch trador, misled by false lights shown by wrcckorB, ran ashore upon Dlock iBlnnd in the year 1752. Tho wreckerB, when they had stripped tho vessel, Bet her on fire In ordor to conceal their crime. As tho tldo lifted her nnd carried her flambig out to sea, agonizing shrloks camo from the blaze, nnd tho figure of a woman who had hid den herself in tho hold in fear of tho wreckers stood out blnck amid tho roaring blaze. Then tho dock fell !u and ship and woman vanished. Tho whaling in Nantucket, an you will remem ber, was in its palmy daya carried on almost en tirely by Quakers. Ono Sunday ovenlng a meet ing was in progress; tho slmplo servlco seemed as though It might pass, and -tho spirit moved nono of the company. Tho elder Friend was Just about to offer his hand to his neighbor In tho closing of tho meeting, whon a stranger roso and declared that the I.ord'B wrath was upon a cortaln whaling ship, nnd that ho had seen her In a vision descending a huge wave from tho hollow of which Bho never roao. Tho meeting closed hurriedly, but the speaker could not bo found, and the ship was never heard of. Some of the best ghost stories aro those which tho writer has heard from tho simple folk of the ealt marshes. -It la hardly possible to dcBcrlbB these dreary districts, for when ono has said thoy aro flat, stretching for miles, and rather subject to mists, ono has Bald pretty well all that is to be said tho rest must be felt. However, Just aB there 1b a call of the sea, bo there Is a call of tho marshland. You shall go Into the saltern and feel its moist breath upon your cheek and the breath of Its salty winds and tho ozone of its calms. You shall be lost in Us vastness, and, threading its innumerable twisted narrow waterways, which lead to nowhere, yo shall tread its carpet of scentless flowers. You shall go to its very edge where the sea comes often most, and where the (lowers decaying leavo their ruBt-colored remains. There you ahall moot mud, and tho cry of tho currow ahall mock as you flounder in Its filth. Tho moon shall come up refracted by the mist Into unrecognizable shape, which shall bo blood color. You shall be a gray Bhape, differing little from the common things that aro thcro, for you shall be enshrouded by fog; nay, it ahall sink into your very soul, until you aro not flesh and bones, but a particle of fog yourself. You shall listen to Its alienees; you Bhall bo told things by them, nnd, ntrong man that you nro, you shall bo afraid. la It to bo wondered at,, thon, that thoao simple Ebsox marsh-dwellers remembor such talos as that of the young skipper, homo from n long voyage, whoso hnsto to embrnco his wife, nnd tho babo ho had not yet seen, bid him to go tho nearer way of tho marshes? Tho talo has It that In crossing a narrow gutwny, near Pitsea, ho sank In tho mud. So deeply did ho sink that ho could not extricate himself; the more ho struggled tho dcopcr he sank, and with tho horror of knowing that tho tldo was rising and would como stealing up tho Crook, ho Bhouted. As tho tldo roso higher tho louder wero his screams. Tho Baltornn near Pitsea nro lonely; tho cries wero heard only by a half-witted peat-cuttor, who often In his losa Bano moments heard such screams and thought no moro of tho matter. So tho shrloks becamo gurgles, nnd by tho tlmo tho tldo had lifted tho pcat-cuttor's punt they had ceased. Tho older folk at this stago of the sVory as sume a mysterious air, and, with largooycd glanclngs nthwart their Bhouldora, will tell you that tho Bklppor's shrieks aro heard on starlit nights aa tho tide glides up that creek.
