STRANGE STORY.—A son of George Linley, the com-
poser, has had a narrow escape. He had fixed on the
Dalhousie to take his passage for Sydney, but his mother
having taken a prejudice to that ship, she urged him so
fervently to give up his desire of goin!, in her, that at the
last moment only he consented. She visited the Dal-
housie three times with her son, hoping to overcome her
superstitious feelings. On the occasion of her last visit
a gentleman signing papers in the cabin, seeing her hesi-
tation, said, " Madam, this is a first-rate ship ; I have
40,0001. on board, and rest assured I must think well of
the Dalhousie before I would trust so much in her.'
Much more he argued to persuade her ; but Mrs. Lin-
ley left, and immediately went to the Samara,ng, and
there secured a berth for her son.
