Mr.. James F. Burns of Cripple Creek,

ever so much more money than he can

can Brig That Was lowed Into Port But

When a well-found ship leaves port
and ia never afterwards heard from, 1t
is put down as a mystery OF the sea.
When a dead body encased in an un-
identified life-jachN is lifted up by the
sfeepless surf and cast on the wave
wora beach, that, too, is recorded as a
mystery of the deep. The waterlogged
raft with the stump Of distress sig
nal spar pointing mutely skyward; me
battered lifeboat with the oars drag
ging from the gunwales, and the acre
of boxes and barrels and beams anu
blanks floating silently on the white
crests. and tn the dark hollows OF the
surgihg sea, these are likewise cailed
ocean mysteries. Sometimes these
marks of shipwreck and death are
picked up by more fortunate craft ana
are brought to port to be mysteries no
longer. But there are mysteries OF the
sea deeper than the plank, the crushed
lifeboat and the dead sailor. Man has
tried to fanthom them, hopelessly at

but the cruel old ocean never does.
There are greater secrets in Old

City Of London, City Of Limerick. Pres

The Marie Celeste was an American

after her departure she was towed INTO
