down to the sea In ship3? Will ho not rather
give an car to the talcs of strange things seen
emd believed by sailor-folk?
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.
So here aro my ghost atorlea, and If I aome
tlmea belevo In them whon I sail all alone o
the midnight deep, you will not laugh at ma
