Is always kind enough to heaye in sight
when vessel is going to founder or run
ashore. The idea is. OF course, that the old
fellow has been trying for several centuries
to double the cape and cannot manage it
with his old tub. He is so jealous of others
who succeed that he delights in doing all he
can to frighten away competitors.
There is, however. another specter that

a ship was hOmeward bound from the In

in consequence OF some wickedness ON

So she cruised about until the crew all MUIR

of the defunct mariners. Sometimes it is
said that the ship was slave ship that was
attacked by the plague, but the facts as
gathered point TO her as being an East In

Then there is the story of Baron Falken-
berg and how he came to haunt the German
Ocean. One day he was invited to the we'd
ding feast OF long-lost brother who re-
turned home suddenly with pocketful of
coin in order TO marry a gehtle village
maiden upon whom Falkenberg himself had
his eye. 1t was annoying, but still. as the
Baron found his brother was the favored
one, and as he himself was short of cash,
he thought it better to be amiabe to his
brother, so he went to the feast pre-

champagne was capital, and the menu
one that the soul of tho Baron
loved. Therefore, by tho time the bride
withdrew to don her travelling dress, and
the guests were gathered in the hall with

Unfortunately, however, his brother touched
him up in the wrong place and turned his
good nature to perfect frenzy, which re-
