is difficult 10 understand how any
rerson whose nerves lad not been
hardened by the presence OF frequent
and appalling dangers could have
written with such manifest coolness
in tho immediate presence oi death.
This self possession at once mega
ltives the idea that the person who
could exhibit II in moment Of snch
auprt mo peril could possibly have
mistaken the name of the vessel
whose loss he has recorded. Then.
again. we find from the records OF
the loet Pacific that person named
Graham sailed in her from Liverpool
on her ill-fstod voyage, and, In all
human probability, was or hoard nj
the time sho was lost with ell hands.

entire chain Of evidence. Tor II con.
meets tho writer Of the memorandum
directly with tho lost ship, and the
chip with the writer. Lastly, since
the memorandum has been given to
the world--now some woeks-we
have had no in'imation that any ship
named the Pacifc, eniling from
Liverpool recently, has been lost or
is even missing.
