cure her. The poor girl had now been
laughing for three days and nights. and
she was so very weak that she could
not speak above a whisper. The San
Joaquin river was very much swollen,
and It was necessary for the father and
his afflicted daughter TO cross 1t in a
small canoe. The girl was placed in
the little boat and made as comfort
able as possible. and then her father
stepped In for the purpose Of rowing
her 10 the other side, where there was
q vehicle in waiting TO carry them 10
the train.
Mr.. Hollins IS rather an old man and
he staggered and dipped the canoe
considerably in attempting 10 reach
his seat. This frightened the young
girl, end between the two, in their
Efforts to balance the boat, they turned
Il over. The girl disappeared in an
instant and came to the surface ten
or more steps down the stream. 1t
Vas noticed when she came TO the top
OF the water that her face looked nat
ural and she called TO the people on
the shore IN her usual tone Of voice
to save her father. The old man was
easily rescued. but the girl was fur
ther from shore when the boat capsiz-

plunged into the stream, and when she
came TO the surface the second time,

not treat the matter with any degree
OF seriousness. In fact. they all laugh
ed with the girl. supposing that shs
had Witnessed something exceedingly
funny.
The young lady. whose name Is Sal
lie Rollins. IS fairly well educated,
very full OF life. and possessed OF more
than ordinary intelligence. Later IN
the day. when she had laughed her
self sick, her father concluded TO send
for a doctor. When the physician ar
rived he was evidently very much puz-
lied, and frankly admitted that he had
never witnessed a similar case. He
administered sedatiyes, only TO increase
the violence OF the young girls Pc
culiar affliction. Under the influence
OF an op.ate she laughed louder and
was unable to control herself for
single moment. She laughed through
the night without ever closing her
Eyes. On the next day a Consulting
physician was called. This man had
fead Victor Hugo's Man Who
Laughs" ard he at once jumped to the
conclusion that the art OF imprsssir9
sn indeiIble laugh upon the human
face had been rediscoyered- He thought
that his patient was in some way the
victim OF a band OF wandering gypsIeE
that had recently been camped in the
neighborhood, and ne concluded that
these fends had possibly drugged her
with hasheesh. Miss Sailie was ques-

as limited TO a short visit, which she
made to their camp in company with
few OF her friends, and she insisted
that she did not eat or drink anything
offered 10 her by these strange people.
The doctors became deeply interested
In the curious case, and administered
many remedies, without, however, ben
citing the afflicted girl in the least.
BY making a desperate effort and
eXerting all her strength of mind and
body, the girl could keep her features
straight and control herself for a few
seconds, and then she would relapse
irto a paroXysm of uncomfortable
laughter again.
1t was now remembered that when
the young people visited the camp OF
nomads that trip -Sallie had refused TO
have her fortune told" and that she
had made a remark which offended
the old crone who pretended to read
the stars. The young girl is very pop
ular in the neighborhood. and her
friends came to the conclusion that the
old gypsy woman had done something
TO the girl-"put a spell on her." the
old grandmothers said. AS the girl
grew worse, the young men OF the
neighborhood became more violent in
their talk and threats about the gyp-
sizes. Finally a dozen of them got to-
gether and determined to follow the
meandering band and make the old
crone release the girl from the spell
that they were sure the wicked woman
had cast upon her. On the same day
the young girls father had concluded
TO take her to Galveston, in the hope

above low water mark. Mr.. S being
an old sailor recognized it at once at
the mast Of a large ship, it having
measured over 20 feet in length. Fur
Their examination showed that it must
have belonged TO a war vessel. as it
bore marks Of having had several
strong iron bands and the remains of
gun-rack, which could only have
belonged to warship. A sketch of it
was then made by the writer. with
measurements Of its length, girth, and
the rust marks of the iron bands. A
chip was cut from it to show the wood
it was made Of.

of the masts of the missing Levant
On arrival at Honolulu, the story was
told, but the chip taken from the mast
was claimed by the ship carpenters to
be New Zealand Kauri gum pine, and
not an American pine This for a time
cast doubt as to it's being the Lee
wants mast, some thinking it more
likely belonged to a British ship, the
loss Of which had not been reported.
However, the account of the finding
of the spar, with its measurements
and description and the chip referred
to, were sent to the Navy Department
at Washington. An examination into
the history of the Levant was ordered
and made, and it was found that she
had once put into Auckland, New Zea-
land, disabled, and while there was
fitted with a new mast, made of the
Kauri gum pine. This investigation
dispelled all doubts, and the navy de-
partment became satisfied that it be-
longed to the missing ship, and clearly
proved her fate. Nothing farther has
ever been learned regarding her, or her
captain, officers and crew.
