TALES OF THE SEA.
WEIRD YARNS OF THE sUPERNAT.
URAL SPUN BY THE CAPTAIN.

Exile From Salvador
We were eating dinner one night on
the old cargo ship and talking of tho
happenings at sea and on shore that arc
called supernatural when the captain
said:
lone secs some things at sea not SUI
pernatural which are iit 20 make nerv-
Gus man see ghosts. There was hat case
in one Of Green's liners TO the colonies,
where man was sent down 20 clean
ont the chain locker The locker had
seemed foul all the passage home, and
so they hoi-tcd out the chain and sent
this f5fi0w down with his brush and
soap and bucket, with a lamp, TO clean
il out. III wager he saw ghosts for
year after that, for when he'd got down
on his knees TO begin scrubhing he
found himself bending over the skull of
dead man.
1T was most likely a man that had
slowed away ont in the colony and had
been caught under tho cable when they
were running it down quickly, and so
had the life crushed ont of him.

seemed supernatural right enough. 1t
was III the D1ncrma trade, and was
acquainted with the first officer of the
bark where it all happened.
IN the first place. while she was out
there loaded and ready to sail, the cap
tain had trouble with one Of the soamen,
who drew cut li, knife and stabbed him
TO death then and there. Ihemate after
ward took her home, but on the way
passenger took to ailing in some mystcli-
GUS fashion and up and died very sud

"Of course Size WAS a haunted ship
when she arrived homo. and 50 the
owners had her name changed, and she
was refittod and painted up entirely
different from what she had been. Then
she sailed away with now captain, but
