JOHN BREIN NANS LIE
It Traveled Hound tlie AVorlil anl
CauKctl Lots of Anxiety
One of the silliest lies ever told was
the famous invention of Sailor Man
John Brennan of Sligo It was made
out of whole cloth There wasnt the
shadow of foundation for it but there
was so much that might have been
true about it that it was cabled round
the world wherever men go down to
the sea in ships and for several hout3
it kept hundreds of people on the rack
of anxiety
About 3 oclock on the afternoon of
Oct 14 1S91 a bulletin was posted
at the Nefr York Maritime Exchange j
that the City of Home had foundered
off St Shotts off the coast of Now-
foundland About the same time the
newspaper offices got a dispatch from j
St Johns N F saying that Sailor
Man John Brennan of Sligo Ireland
had got into the little town of
passy that morning from Peters river
and had declared that he was probably
the only survivor of the City of Rome
which had struck on the rocks and
cone down He was in such a condi
tion of exhaustion that nothing moro
could be got out of him until he had
had rest and nourishment
That story was cabled and telegraph
ed everywhere and at once the news
papers began to strive for further de
tails The first effort was to get con
firmation or denial It was found
at once that the City of Rome had
sailed from New York at such a time
that she must have been near St
Shotts when Brennan said she was
there That looked like confirmation
The evening papers got out extra3
with lists of the passengers and crew

JUULULUa VI JL lin -
The offices of the Anchor Line agents j
were crowded with persons eager for U1
news But there was no news Friends B
Ul lui iiusicupcia - - j
place The Maritime and Lloyd regis
ters were searched for reports of other
chins names similar to that of the
Citv of Rome An Italian Citta di
Roma was found but when she was
tracked it was found she was all right
Then the newspapers began to pre
pare to send men to the scene of the
wreck Boston papers got men off for
Halifax there to take ocean tugs for
St Shotts All the time the telegraph
and cable were worked for further
news from Newfoundland At last
tboro enmo n di snatch from the cable
statfon at Cape Race to the Anchor j
Line agents here I
Your City of Rome passed here on
Tuesday All well it said
That was all For the next twenty
four hours the truth hustled to over
take the lie It succeeded but it was a
hard chase Brennan had absolutely
nothing on which to go in making up
his story He couldnt have known
even that tho City of Rome was In
New York or had sailed He just fired
In the air and as may happen once in
ten million times he hit the mark
Tlie CUolr He Wanted
John Fiske the American historian
was an ardent lover of music and him
self no mean musician Furthermore
he was extremely corpulent and felt
the hot weather painfully He was
once delivering a course of lectures at
a summer school in a small city of the
middle west The heat was terrific
and adjoining the house where the lec
turer stayed was a church where an
111 matched but zealous quartet prac
ticed and performed during all hours
of the torrid afternoons and evenings
One evening seeing the famous man
sit for a time unoccupied and apparent
ly oppressed by this combined afflic
tion the young daughter of his hostess
attempted to divert him by offering
him a new novel then just becoming
popular I think The Choir Invisible
is perfectly splendid Mr Fiske said
she Wouldnt you like to read it
The historian put the book aside My
dear young lady said he the only
choir in the world in which I could
feel any interest at this inomenj would
be the choir inaudible
