The Flying Dutchman

OF all the superstitions of the sea
the weird story of the Flying
Dutchman is the most universal,
for in a dozen tongues and as many
lands it has been told by seamen
and fishermen to their children for
several hundred years since the
days of the Spanish treasure gal
Icons and the Spanish main and
still there are old sailors, truthful
enough in other ways, that still
swear they have seen the great
ghost ship sail by them in a gale
at night, with every stitch of can
vas set and a skeleton at the wheel,
and that within a day their own
ship had piled herself on the rocks
or gone down in the gale a wreck !;
for to meet the awful Flying
Dutchman is a sure sign of ship
wreck.
There are numerous versions of
the identity of this ghost ship, but
the English version is that it is the
ghost of a Spanish pirate, who went
down with a ship load of i'll gotten
treasure while trying to weather
Cape Horn in a terrible gale, and
that its ghost has patrolled that
locality ever since during gales,
taking many a good ship to the
same fate it suffered years ago.
