superstitIons concernlng ware..

There are some curious superstitions
concerning waves. 1t was formerly held
among certain of the devout that the COM
motion of the sea was owing to the SER
penis which ST. Patrick had imprisoned
in n box when he cast them out of Ire
land. The Arab sailors believed that the
high seas off the coast of Abyssinia were
enchanted, and whenever they found
themselves among them they recited verses
which were supposed to subdue them. An
old traveller, in a voyage from Messina to
Malta, writes that he saw the captain, an
old and experienced sailor, standing at
the bow muttering and pointing with his
finger. On being asked what he was
doing, he replied that he was breaking the
force of a fatal wave by making the sign
Of the cross and saying the prayers proper
Tor the occasion. He said that every
ninth wave was the dangerous one. The
writer adds: And as the ship was imme-
hiutely driven more violently, n the
water suddenly beat high over it, This
said he, lis the ninth. Take the number
and count on Strange it is thai every
ninth wave was much greater than any Of
the others, and threatened the ship with
immediate destruction. This wave, how
ever, whenever it approached, the captain,
by his mutterings and signing of the cross,
seemed to break, and the danger vas
averted. London Telegraph.
