following story Of an American sea captain: @o'.'s
On bis last voyage home the captain had on board a
young lady Of remarkable personal attractions phrase
| use as one being entirely new, and one you never meet
with in the newspapers. This young lady was beloved
intensely by FIVE young gentlemen passengers, and in
return she was in love with them all very ardently, but
without any particular preference for either. Not know.
ing how to make up her determination in this dilemma,
she consulted my friend the captain. The captain be-
ing q man Of an original turn of mind says to the young
lady: Jump overheard, and marry the man who jumps
after you The young lady, struck with the idea, and
being naturally fond of bathing, especially in warm
weather, as it then was, took the advice of the captain,
who had a boat manned in case Of accident Accord
ingfy, next morning, the I've lovers being on deck, and
looking 'devotedlyat the young lady, she plunged into
the sea head foremost. Four of the lovers Immediately
jumped in after her. When the young lady and her
four lovers we're got out again, she says to the captain ::
what, am | to do with them now, they are so wet?
Says the captain, take the dry one? And the young
lady did, and she married him. -a'ohis255
