A splash in the water was heard, and
rooms, and mysterious lights and sha-
doWs upon it, was upturned to the horri-

mysterious guest, The seething, rushing
flood soon carried the frail bark of hui
mainly from sight, and to this day no
tIdings from 1t have been received and
the mystery of the strangers sudden taxi

until the sea shall give up its dead. Ever
after that night the house was 1.-The
haunted house."
