THE GHOST OF A SHARK.
The Fantastic Vision Which FOretold q
Sailors Death.

The Fantastic Vision Which Foretold q
Sailors Death.
Five years ago last summer, when
yellow jack played such havoc in Rio
Janeiro, it was almost impossible to
get men to ship for that port, and
many vessels went out short handed,
among them the good ship Clio, OF
Baltimore, of which / shipped boat
swain and acting second mate, said an
old skipper to reporter.
There was nothing remarkable about
the voyage out. We had a good run,
arrived safely, discharged our -four
and took in our coffee without having
a man sick with the fever or anything
else.
In Rio we picked up young Eng
ishman, Ned Halpin by name, a
thorough sailor, who soon became a
prime favorite with all hands.
We passed Cape st. Rogue on the
homeward voyage, one dark, squally
night, with now and then a dash of
rain. The wind was southeast, and
walked the quarter deck, impatiently
waiting for eight BELLS Halpin was
just coming down the mizzen rigging,
when l saw him swing far over the
side and peer earnestly into the sea.
When he dropped to deck asked what
he was looking at.
He replied:
"Well, Mr.. Shelby, either saw my
twin brother swallowed by shark, or
I saw my own ghost and the ghost Of
shark, and I never had brother, so
it must be me-"
/ charged him with having rum in
the forecastle and with drinking more
than was good for him, and ordered
him forward. He started, but as he
reached the break of the half deck he
called me.
"There it is now," he said, pointing
into the water clear 'longside. looked
but saw nothing but the rushing phos-
phorescent foam as the seas broke
against the vessels side.
l admit that l was somewhat i'm
pressed by the mans earnestness, bat
ordered him forward roughly, and,
eight bells striking soon after, the in
cident passed my mind.
The nights for about two weeks were
alternately squally and fine, and
every squally night Ned would see
that image. We made a quick run
with good weather from latitude 10
north to the Capes of Chesapeake and
would have forgotten all about the
matter had not Ned often said: "Boys,
I'll never see Baltimore. When the
white tower of Cape Henry came in
sight many joke was passed regard
ing Ned's shark, but the poor fellow
shook his head sadly and muttered:
"I'll never see Baltimore.
A tugboat took us in tow and the
men were aloft furling gallant sails,
when there was cry and a splash of
water, then shrek of mortal anguish,
and as the cry of Man overheard !'
rang through the ship poor Ned was
seen to sink beneath the calm surface
of the bay, his life blood staining the
water around him, while the dorsal
fin of the shark that for twenty years
has haunted the Virginia capes told
the Mortified witnesses that Ned's Wis
ion was true, and added but another
chapter to the psychological mysteries
that happen from time to time, and
which no man can explain.-Philadel-
