MYSTERIOUS LIGHT AT SEA

Three Steamers Didn't Understand

Royal Geographical society in London

One afternoon, while in the bay Of
Biscay, he sank the trap in which he

to the bottom in over 10, 900 feet of
water, and as night approached he fas

during the last week Of May, 1892, at
the Gaiety, London, and all owing to
the singular behavior of policeman
Two popular entertainers were on the
stage, and one of them asked the audi

lioeman an utter scoundrel?"
A gentleman in blue who was appar-
emily on duty in the body of the thea
ter at once took otfense. He jumped on
to the stage and, seizing the offender.
attempted to drag him off.
The audience rose in indignation.
Men shook their fists and shouted,
"What has he done?' One frenzied
young lady in the front of the gallery
seized tumbler and would have thrown
it at the policeman if her arm had not
been arrested.
The policeman then dragged his cap.

explanation that his steed always acted
that way when there was game to be
