THE HAUNTED SHIPS. . th Um twenty yean of ray seafaring me I had two experieneea with haunted bhtpa. Thu term may provoke a smile, Vnt if there are haunted hentsee why shouldn't there be haunted sbtoa? As te the question of the tnperaaturu, I may of may not be a believer! I wilt give yon the incidents just as they occurred, and if yon can explain everything satisfactorily to yourself I shall be gratified. An BngMsh brig called the Charles, In tusking her first voj age from Liverpool to Boston, had some trouble with her crew, had in putting It down the captain shot a sailor named Jack Wallace. Jack lived ‘about an hour after being hit, and he ‘eumed the captain high and low, and be sowed by all that was good that he would haunt the brig as long as she floated. I’m blessed if he didn’t begin the haunting business that very night, creating an alarm which made even the first mate shake In his boots. On getting into Bos ton every man but the second mate de serted her. She loaded her cargo, shipped another crew, and on the way over to England Jack’s ghost kicked up such a row that the men were for taking to the boats in midocean and deserting the brig. Every man of them, mates and nl, left her at Liverpool, and it was two weeks after ehe was ready to sail again, this time for New Orleans, before she could find a Crew. News of an affair of this sort gets spread about sooner and farther than you would imagine, even without the help of the newspapers, and Jack Tar will not kail in a haunted si^ip for any man's money. The brig reached New Orleans after a long passage, and she had scarcely tied to the wharf when everybody deserted her, the captain going with the rest There Was s regular stampede, and the vessel Was left Hi the hands of the consignees at the drop of the hnt I found tier two weeks after this with her load of cotton all aboard and her sails bent for salting. Her old crew had talked more or less, and double wages were being offered for a crew. First mate’s place was offered tne, while an English sea captain had boms down from New York. We regarded the ghost business as all nonsense, and Vers prepared to grapple with any spirit or investigate any mystery. By our own personal efforts we finally picked np a mew, getting hold of men here and there. Whs had just tome into port from long ioyages and had heard nothing to the brig's prejudice. We dropped down the tlver and got to sea without a single nailer having heard anything, and ’ of course none of them were looking for the mysterious. We Were well out to sea before night •f the first day, and when I came on deck at midnight to stand my watch there Was h steady breece and a moderate sea, and the captain's watch had had an easy time Of It. The men of my watch took a pnll at a brace here and there, and inside of a quarter of an hour all except the lookout Were stowed away here and there, to catch bat naps. I was pacing the deck with ling very quiet alow and aloft, my attention was attracted to the ; of a sailor coming aft I was on the Starboard quarter, and he came along down close to the port rail, and made as If te go to the wheel. His footsteps gave C t no sound, and he came along with a rt of glide I never conld describe. It Was a breach of discipline for a fore mast hand to appear on the quarter qeck without a special errand or with out saluting, and when I saw this man making his way along the quarter toward the man at the wheel it sthick me that le was walking In his sleep. I picked tap a rope’s end and started for him, bnt hs glided ahead like a shadow, passed Within two feet of the man at the wheel •ad went oat of sight like a flash. Next Instant the sailor let go of the spokes of the wheel and staggered about, and the a would have come up into the wind I not jumped for the wheel. I yelled out and raised an alarm, and the men threw a buoy over and we presently ^topped our way and made ready to lower q boat It was then discovered that no K was missing. Every man aboard that t was there to answer to his name. « The captain set out to give me a keel Hauling for cresting such an alarm, but I look him aside, called to the sailor who Bad aeon all, and we told our story in a Way which put the old man into a pickle. While he had to believe us, he wouldn’t ttlieye in the supernatural, and no man mold have been more nneasy. "Here is what I saw. sir,” replied the iwemastband when asked fprhis version V tbs matter. “I think I saw the spook bsfors Mr. Temple did. I thought it was ana of the men coming hack to make a re port to him, bnt When I saw him bear off to port, and saw Mr. Temple start for him, I bolleved it was a case of sleep walking. The thing came so close that I could have touched it, and there waa a smell of dead folks about It There was a sailor look to the face—it being a youngish chap— •tad his two hands were clasped on hie ride like this. He fetched a sort of groan M ha passed me, and he went over the nsra as softly as a leaf fals to the ground, gad without a splash. This is a haunted craft, rir, and I give'' , “Shut up!” hissed the captain. "TeD me that again and I’ll clap yon in irons.” "Bnt, who was it, sirf” "Both of you wore dreaming, and if I hear aay more of It somebody will hear Hs further requested that nothing be told to the men, and, although he tried to riake light of the matter, I knew that he was deeply puasled. The sailor was aij fMd as his promise, and said nothing, and fijothtag further happened until the third Bight. The second mate, as you may know,' id really In charge of the captain’s watch, ’ ahd this officer, Itar. Qravee, was on duty, ■tad the tone was 11 o'clock, with my'! , all below, when something hap- , ■is watch had just been trimming ' , and could not, therefore, be I with dreaming. All of a sudden , a ffmuta aBMared among them- It waa Itoftaaoa'aftbe tonttK Butt, and ona of the * men, who was after a drink of water, spoke to it under the impression that it was one of his shipmates. I glided away, and at the same moment his nostrils were greeted with sueh an odor that he cried out in dis gust The strange figure was seen by four 1 men of the watch as it glided to a point a j few feet abaft the foremast, and there stood for two or three minutes with hands pressed Upon its side, and its body weav ing to and fro. A man of the name of Will Ketch—a chap who had never feared man | or devil—called out to the mysterious personage: "If you am playing a trick on us, look out for yourself I” With that he picked up a bucket, ft belaying pin, or weapon ot some sort which was handy by, and gave it a fling at the figure, and the mysterious person age vanished at the snap of yonr finger. There was a row which brought us all on deck, and now the fact that there waa a mysterious something aboard the brig could uo lohger be concealed. The cap tain raved and blustered, but the men had seen what they had seen, and it was no use to browbeat them. The. watch below refused to turn in again. The cap tain undertook to drive them at the muxzle of his revolver, and they threat ened to jump overboard. There may be a haunted house in a neighborhood, but no one fears it unless he paseee it. Hem wae a ship believed to be haunted, and yet no one could get away from It. I confess that things did not look at least "queer” to me, and while the captain pooh-poohed and talked in a loud voice 1 realized that he was a bit shaky. Mr. Graves also blustered about, swearing at the men, adyislng a dose of belaying pin to cure their nonsense, and when the captain told him to turn in he went down to his berth with a laugh and a swagger. Three minutes later he re turned to ns with a face as white as chalk, and It was a full minute before he could Use his tongue to stammer out: "The—the thing is in the cabi%!” Without a word in reply we descended the companion with him—the captain going first, I next and Mr. Graves bring- ing np the rear. As we passed akmg the hall and pushed open the cabin door the ! figure of a man could be made out on the j far side of the cabin, where the shadows ' were darkest. It was as plain as any hu- j man figure conld be, though we could not make out the face and other details. We stared at it for half a minute, and then the captain pulled his revolver and banged away. There was a sort of groan follow ing his shot, and when the smoke cleared we took a light and searched in vain for traces of our mysterious visitor. He had departed. It was confessed to the owners and to the press that the officers and crew of that brig slept on deck every night after 1 that until the end of the voyage. Indeed, ' there were only two sailors among the crew who would venture into the fore- ; castle in the daytime, and the steward could not have been kept in his place ex- | cept by threats. We were ridiculed and laughed at as a crew, but It is a matter of history that the Charles never made an other voyage. She could not get a char ter, nof could she have got a crew if she had, and after rotting in ordinary for a couple of years she was knocked to pieces. My second experience was on the ship Homeward. 1 shipped on her at Liver pool for a voyage to the Cape of Good Hope and return. I had not set eyes on her, and knew her only by name when I went aboard with my traps. 1 had a first mate’s berth, and understood that the . officer Ailing that place had been taken suddenly ill two days before. The ship was ready to sail, and I had to hustle aboard without making inquiries. As I approached her I encountered a man skulking away, and believing him to be a deserter, I reached out for him. I got his collar, but he broke my hold, and m he ran away I heard him say: "Aye, but I’d sooner sail the sea In a coffin.” I gave this remark little attention, even when I found out aboard that he was actually a deserter. He was one of six men who had come off to the ship in the morning, and nobody could tell why he had cut sticks. We had a pretty good idea three or four days later. There were only five men aboard when I climbed over the rail—only five sailors. The cook and steward were there, as also, a cabin boy, bnt the captain was ashore, and no one could tell me whether a second mate had been shipped or not About midnight the shipping agents sent me eleven or twelve men, every one of them helplessly drunk, and a little later tm came the captain. He had been drinking heavily, and after trying to tell me his i name and failing to understand mine, he went to his cabin with the order that I should call him at 0 o’clock. We were all ready to warp out, the work of only half an hour from our berth, and the tide would not serve until midforenoon. I ap pointed a ship keeper and turned in my- | self, bnt the drunken fellows were bound to have their farewell carouse, and I got no sleep throOgh the night. I .ess than ; half of them were of any use next morn ing in warping tbe>ship out. The captain came on deck perfectly sober, and when I said something about the condition of , the crew he replied: “Yes, it’s heasMy, Mr. Temple, bnt we couldn’t have got ’em aboard sober, you know. Let a whisper get out about a craft and sailors act like fools.” I had my mouth open to ask what Stories were In circulation regarding the Homeward, when the captain, whose name was Robinson, gave me an order and walked away. The second mate, who seemed to have been on a spree with the men, came up and introduced himself. His name was Anderson, and he apolo gized for his presence by sayingf "I hung out to the very last, hoping to get another ship, but I had to take the berth. Uo you think they are very bad?” "What!” "The ghosts.” "Is this a haunted ship!” "Didn’t you know it was! They say she has been deserted in every port and that she changes captains every trip; but perhaps it is only sailor talk, 1 hope we shall have no trouble, sir.” He sidled away in a half ashamed man ner, and all hands, or all who were of any use, at ones began warping the ship out, and before noon we were on onr way out. After we were fairly off the men began to knock themselves together, the captain and second mate acted like different men, and when the watches were set 1 had for gotten the words dropped by Mr. Ander son. He was a thorough sailor and full of discipline, and one would have judged by his face that he had great force of Character, Nothing occurred to create an alarm for three days. Then, one night during my watch, a man in the captain’s Watch, who' was below, cams' on deck and said to me: "Mr. Temple, it must be that we haves ! stowaway aboard. We have heard groans > and sighs and sobs for the last two nights, . sad some ot the men declare the ship is haunted. There comes the watch, sir, | driven ont by the noisce.' Won’t yon please mMte nseaWir : ~ It was true that every man in the top tain's watch had tumbled up, and I kneta that they must be badly frightened tt thus exhibit themselves. I took a lonf look at the weather, saw that everythini was fair, and then descended to the fore castle alone. Not a man dared to follow me down there. I wasn’t even nervous. If there were groans and cries they must come from mme poor devil who had ac creted himself in the hold, and who was now ill and starving. I had only reached the foot of the ladder when I felt the touch of an icy hand on my face, and the next instant my hair waa on end. Some one waa sighing, groaning and weeping The sound did not corns from any one dfc rection. At one moment they seemed te come from the very eyes of the ship, and the next they were heard at the bulkhead, which divided the place from the hold. 1 felt, too, all the time as if somebody was moving about me, and I put up my hand to prevent my throat being clutched. 1 frankly admit to you that I was scared, but I was determined not to show my feel ings to the men, and as I went on deck again I carelessly said to them: “The noises come from the hold. Some one has stowed himself away, and we'll have him out to-morrow. ” I left it With them to go back or remain on deck, and not one of them, nor yet a man in my own watch, would go below until daylight came, when, strange to say, the noises died entirely away. The cap tain and Mr. Anderson both saw that something was wrong as soon as they came on deck. The captain received the news very quietly, asking a question now and then, and when I had finished he re plied: "Very well, sir. After the men have had their breakfast we will search the hold.” We had one, bnt It was fruitless of re sult- It was thorough enough to con vince us that no person was hidden away. The captain hail very little to say, seem ing, as I thought, greatly distressed in mind, but I finally brotight Mr. Anderson over to agree with me that the noises were produced by the rubbing of the cargo, though why we should not heat them in the daytime as well I could not explain. The noises began about 9 o’clock the next night. Both Mr. Anderson and myself went down and listened to them, but we could not prevail upon the captain to accompany us. Before 10 o’clock the men were in such a state of trepidation that it was hardly possible to separate them to do duty, and an hour later, when I went into the cabin to consult with the captain, he looked at me In the queerest manner and said: “Mr. Temple, we must go back to Liverpool. This ship is haunted, and if we pursue the voyage we are lost.” With that he burst into tears and went off to his stateroom and locked himself in. It was a hard position to find myself in, for I now believed that the captain had gone daft, and the second mate was so rattled that his advice was no good. I determined to hold the ship on her course, however, and she was pursuing it when, at 2 o’clock in the morning, the captain suddenly rushed on deck and sprang over board with a yell, and, though we laid the ship to and lowered a boat, we fotmd no trace of him. I then put the ship about and curried her into Liverpool, and it was the lust voyage she ever made.— New York Sun. New Feature In BubbXi Blowing. The Inventor of a new method of Inno cent amusement is a public benefactor. The sisters of Frank, Will and Dan Beard, the well known artists, illustrators and lecturers, have introduced a new pastime into fashionable suburban society which seems likely to monopolize much of the jollity of many country parties. It is a new feature of these bubble parties which enjoyed some little popularity three years ago. It is called a "bubble range.” The furniture of the range is very simple and consists principally of a long and narrow stand some three and a haU feet high. The top is five feet long and one In width and is covered with felt. At one end are two short uprights five or six Inches apart. The other things necesSar j are some common clay pipes, a bowl of soap and water and some favors snch as are given at progressive enchre. The way these things are used is something like this: A girl puts a pipe between her rosy lips Tlnd blows a moderately large soap bubble. She holds it np to the light for a moment and says: "Isn’t it beauti- fnl!” Then she drops it on the range. It bursts. She blows another, and keeps on blowing until she has one which will not spray when it touches the table. The young man who is trying his skill stands at the end of the range and tries to blow the bubble between the two up rights opposite. He does the same with any given number of irridescent globes. The others in the party try, and there ii all imaginable fun and laughter. The one of each six who succeeds oftenest gets a favor, and those also who get the least number of bubbles between the uprights. Afterward, of course, and depending Upon the time of the party, there is a lunch or supper and dance.—New York Evening Sun. Dratinjr of Far Eastern Races. Destitute of stimulants from, without, the Indo-Aryan mind turned on itself and consumed in metaphysics the imagination' which has made their cousins the leaders in the world’s progress today. The in evitable numbness of monotony crept Over them. The deadly sameness of their sur- ■ roundings began to teH. The torpor of the east, like some paralyzing poison, stole into their souls, and they fell asleep, and did but dream hr the land they bad formerly wrested from its possessors. Their birthright passed into the west Artistic, attractive people that they are, their civilization is like their tree flowers, beautiful blossoms destined never to bear fruit. For whatever we may conceive their Impersonality to foretell in the fax future of another life, of one thing W may be certain—its immediate effect can not but be annihilating. If they continue in their old course, their earthly career ia closed. Just as surely as morning passes Into afternoon, so surely are these races of the far east, If unchanged, destined to disap pear before the advancing peoples of the west. Vanish they will off the face of the earth, and leave the planet the eventual pMjwion of the dwellers In the day’s de cline. Unless their newly imported ideas really take root it is from this whole world that Japanese and Koreans, as well as Chinese, will inevitably be excluded. Even now Nirvana has come upon them: Already it has wrapped far eastern Asia as with a ahrdad woven of the peaceful death like beauty of the land of the day’■ beginning and the land of Its morning calm.—Atlantic.
