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 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.
