PHANTOM SHIP
The Flying Dutchmon.
~N-gY CAPTAIN MARRYAL


Il did object to receive Them" stat
ing that they ought to go out in some
vessel which was not so incumbered
with troops, sc that they might re-
main on the main deck; but they re-
piled that the invoices were made out
and could not be altered. But now to
act. My idea is to keep the matches
on, so as to smother it if possible"
YES" replied Krantz, land at the
same time cut a hole in the deck just
large enough to admit the hose and
pump as much water as we can into
the hold"
You are right, Krantz; send for the
carpenter and set him to work. l will
turn the hands up, and speak to the
men. 1 smell the fire now very strong;
there is no time to lose. If We can
only keep the troops and the women
quiet we may do something"
Two hours later, however, the fire
had gained such Roadway that they
had to take measures to abandon the
ship.
The column of fire now assembled
above the manipulating with it's
forky tongue the topmast rigging-and
embracing the mainmast in it's folds;
and the loud roar with which it as
cended proved the violence and rapid
ity of the combustion below, and how
little time there was to be lost. The
lower and main decks were now so fill
ed with smoke that no one could re-
main there; some poor fellows, sick
in their cots, had long been smothered,
for they had been forgotten. The swell
had much subsidized, and there was not
a breath of wind; the smoke which
rose from the h~atchways assembled
straight up in the air, which, as the
vessel had lost all steerage way, was
fortunate. The boats were soon in
the water, and trusty men placed in
them; the spars were launched over,
arranged by the men in the boats and
dashed together. All the gratings Were
then collected and firmly fixed upon
the spars for the people to sit upon;
and Philips heart was glad at the
prospect which he now had of saw
ing the numbers which were en-
barked.
