Lieut.. Greedy, since his return home,
says a Washington dispatch to the
Jbh0Gutce Sentinel, relates a number
OF curious incidents connected with his
expedition during their two years resi-
dencc in the Arctic regions. The most
singular Of all, however is a story told
to him by Mrs. De Long, a few weeks
since, which she youches for as being
true in every respect. According to
her narrative, when Commander De
Long started on his cruise toward the
north pole he gave to his wife to keep
for him valuable and highly-prized
watch, He also left with her a small
nickel-plated clock. He enjoined her
to keep the watch wound up, adding,
jestingly, that that was something diff
cult for a woman to do for two years.
She continued 10 perform the duty most
carefully, but one day the watch sud-
denly stopped, rs also did the clock,
and both on the same hour and minute.
An examination of the watch by jew
eler showed a broken handspring, but
the clock was without injury. Nothing
was thought of the occurrence at the
time, though the anxiety OF Mrs. De
Long had caused her to make note in
her diary of all the facts, The affair
was almost forgotten as trivial cir
eumstance until the wife received the
journal of the brave dead husband, in
which he had noted on certain date
that his watch and the ships chrono-
meter had stopped, both at the same
time, and by comparison of days and
circumstances it was found that all OF
De Longs time-pieces, those in the
Arctic as well as those at home, had
been in perfect sympathy; all had
ceased to tick on the same day, at the
same hour, and the same minute.
