lent cellar, the floor of the second
story was supported by the lower
masts at the tops, the roof was fixed
to the crosstrees. and the royal maStS
were left standing above the roof, with
the signal halyards ready rove, TO
serve for fiagstaffs.
Gradually the building was altered
and patched and the traces of the
original ship disappeared from view,
but the name Mantle was a fixture,
and people entering the warehouse
continued to speak of coming aboard
or coming over the side.t When the
city decided to expand at lie expense
of the bay. and filled in the flats and
formed SAMSON and Battery and all
the other streets which have put the
wreck of the Mantle half a mile in
land. the filling in buried out of sight
the hull and channel plates of the
ship. and it ceased to resemble any
thing that mad ever fioated When
this first building went into decay and
was condemned the old ship was found
to be the soundest part of it all. But
it was buried still deeper by the foun-
dations OF the large and for that time
modern building that took its place.
Now there is nothing of the ship left
except the name of the building and
the old mainmast, which runs up from
story to story and is used to support
its due share of the weight Some Of
the pioneers stoutly aver that the
mainmast of the Mantle prophesies
the coming of gales on the bay by the
way il creaks for two or three DAYS
before the wind comes. and that these
forecasts are much more to be relied
on than the guesses of the weather bu-
reau.
