The GhostIy sound Heard on Board

Sailors have great respect for the su

lished by the Applctons. Rear Admiral
Roblcy u. Evans tells this good ghost"
story: "One of our ships had had Il very
curious ghost experience while cruising
in the Mediterranean which is well
worth recording. At about midnight

everything was perfectly quiet about the

one WAS going to die.
with much difficulty the men were
finally sent to their hammocks and or

the story was all over the ship. from the
fOreca>tlc To the officers mcSScS. When
night came again. many had forgotten the
incident, but ut the same hour the tolliu.
Of the bell was again distinctly heard
and the whole crew gathered on deck to

theories We're advanced to account for

the mystery. At the proper time the
sound of the bell came clear and dis

LEGEND FOR ARCTIC NIGHTS.
How Greenlanders Account For
Their Long Season of Darkness.

"Thcre was a time they say. long
generations ago. when the sun never set
ON the regions Of the north and when the
strands along the sea were forever hidden

Hence it was that peace and plenty
fell to the lot Of this people and sorrow
was unknown among them. But one day
strange thing came to pass. As the
people were resting and fcastng among
the trees. as was their custom throughout
their walleful hours, Il beautiful canoe. as
white as ivory. was seen drifting silently
toward the shore from the direction Of
the castle where dwelt the spirit of the
winds.
"Now, when the ivory white canoe had
floated quite up to the shore, a great awe
fell upon the people, for there, fast asleep
among the folds of an ermne robe. lay a
beautiful maiden, whose skin was as fair
as the snow flower and whose hair was
like mantle of sunshine. But when the
chief had borne the maiden to the shore
