Natural Bnrometers Which Foretell Storms

"A freak of nature which is attracting
considerable attention is O series of
blowing or "whistling'' wells located
IN the northern part of the town of Eu-

six OF these hysterical wells, ranging in
depth from 1870 to 100 feet. The II

remarkable features. This we'll is 1870

Title OF a series of narrative sketche

and became their historian, MIR. Stock.
ton says:
1t must have been a strange thing for
a man accustomed to pens and ink, to
yardsticks and scales, to offer to enroll
h1mself IN a company of bloody, big
bearded pirates, but a man must eat.
n buccaneering was the only profess
sion open to our ex-clerk. For some rea-
son or other, certainly not Oh account of
his bravery and daring, Esquemeling
was very we'll received by the pirates of
Iortuga. Perhaps they liked him be-
cause he was a mild hammered man and
SO different from themselves.
AS for E~squemeling himself, he soon
came to entertain the highest opinions
OF his pirate companions. IIo looked
upon tho buccaneers who had distin.
gulshed themselves as great heroes. and
IL nus have been extremely gratifying
TO those savage fellows to tell Esque-
melting all the wonderful things they
had done. Esquemeling might have
earned a salary as a listener.
1t was not long before his intense ad.
mlratlon of the buccaneers and their per.
l~orlnances began to produce in him the
Ieellhg that these great exploits should
not be lost to the world, and SO he set
ABOUT writing their lives and adventures.
lie remained with the pirates for sew
cral years and during that time worked
very lndustriously getting together ma.
terlal for his history. When he returned
10 his own country in 1879, he there
completed a book which he called "The
buccaneers of America; or, The True
Account of the Most Remarkable AS

the Coasts of the West Indies by the
