HOODOOS OF
 THE HIGH SEAS

Men who go down to sea in ships may not be more superstitious by nature than their fellows, but in that wonderful ex- panse of sky and water the smallest incl dent of a mysterious nature is magniiiea into an omen. That mariners of the olden time invested the sea with supernatural powers and misunderstood its messages IS not surprising since modern science ana the most enlightened understanding fail to account for it's baffiing vagaries. That is why strange bird settling on the mast head of ship at sea causes panic among the crew, not a man of whom

How Commodore schIey Appeased Some To-
 tai Abstainers


 tai Abstainers
 From the New York Sun.
 Flying Squadron Schley has always been a popular officer among the men forward on ships under his command. One of the ex-blue jackets now in Washington tells a story of Schley that shows him to be something of humorist. A number of years ago Schley was in command of one of the old navy ships that was fitting out at the Brooklyn navy yard for foreign cruise Now, naval officers of the ward-room carry a lot of good beer along with them when they start out on cruise. They are not heavy drinkers of beer, but they use it at mes with their meals. The beer is taken aboard in bottles packed in straw in inn mense hogsheads. A few days before Schley's snip was to sail for foreign sta- tion big party of Brooklyn Sunday school teachers visited the ship in body. The party was composed equally of men and women. The crew were engaged in stow ing and breaking out stores. On the main deck stood one of the big hogsheads packed full of beer bottles that had been emptied The hogshead flied with empty bottles was about to be hoisted. As the bottles stuck out of the packing straw there was no way of telling whether they were filled or empty The Sunday school teachers figured it that the bottles were loaded, and they looked upon the hogshead with eyes of disapproval They had conference among themselves over that hated hogshead and they determ- ined to send an emissary to the skipper, who was Schley, abo tuit. Schley received the emissary in his cabin.
 "Sir," said the messenger, "ft Is regretta- ble to observe the huge quantity of liquid intoxicants your vessel is receiving.'
 Schley is quick-minded man, and he knew that the hogshead was what ailed the emissary. But he didn't let on. lsJ5L
 "How's that?" he inquired. sy
 The emlssary told about the enormous hogshead filled with beer bottles.
 '.It is simply shocking" he said.
 "Shocking! Well, should say sop ex- claimed Schley. "Pll attend to the matter at once" H3tl
 schley rushed out of his cabin. followed by the emissary. ss5 fa
 ..Bo'sun's mate." sailed out schley, as soon as he reached the main deck, "send me few hands at once"
 The hands were aft instantly. ns
 ''Rig a tackle and dump that hogshead over the side," ordered Schley. ok
 The sailors, who knew the bottles were empty, grinned, but in a jrfy they had the hogshead over the side and at the bottom. The Sunday school teachers looked on ap- provingly and when the hogshead had dis appeared they flocked around Schley, and told him what fine, noble example he was setting. Schley took 1t all with becoming modesty. For the fun he had out of 1t he paid a couple of dollars into the ward-room mess for the loss of the empty bottles, which should have been retv-1ed to the bntter.

would dare to harm the stranger guest for fear of shipwreck and death
 But the worst hoodoo of a ship is cat. Stories of the i'll luck brought on ship board by cat have become history. The cats of the steam sloop of war. the Re- saca, the boat detailed for special duty in the survey of the Isthmus of Panama. made themselves famous by the persisten- cy with which they caused disaster. The first one was washing her face on deck when she suddenly disappeared as If she had been an astral body. and two days la terthe sailor whose pet she was fell over board and was drowned.
 Six months later the Resaca anchored off the coast of Callao, and new cat was found, but one day an American who was i'll and homesick came on board to see his countrymen and the cat jumped on the ships rail as soon as she saw him. scratching and moving as if possessed She would have gone overheard, but the men jumped to the rescue and locked up their second pet for safe-keeping. But the vigilance of Pussy's guard relaxed and she was on deck when the American stranger came the next day. and this time the cat jumped into the water and was drowned. And the American visitor died on the ship before daylight the next morning., Nothing would persuade the crew into the belief that the one disaster was not the cause of the other.
 But the end was not yet. After long cruise tho Resaca put into the harbor of Talcahuano. and here one of the men-who was less superstitious than the rest-ob- tained a fine kitten, which took kindly to all on board and grew to be a great pet, being No. of the ships cats and an im- provement upon it's predecessors.
 But one morning at sea NO. g. killed herself in mad race after rat. The men got together and predicted bad luck, when the captain of the starboard watch of the aftsrguard said: Boys. feel bad" and staggered against the bulwaris. Before he could be helped he died. hold Ing his throat with both hands and say ing with his last breath, "All throttled here" There was never another cat taken on board of the Resaca.
