LIKE A FUNERAL BELL.
The GhOstly Sound Heard on Board
Ship In MidOcean.


Sailors have great respect for the su-
pernatural. In "a Sailors Log" pub
lished by the Appletons, Rear Admiral
Robley d. Evans tells this good ghost
story: Zone of our ships had had a very
curious ghost experience while cruising
In the Mediterranean which is well
worth recording. At about midnight,
when over 100 miles from land and while
everything was perfectly quiet about the
deck, the sound of tolling bell was dis
tinctly heard. 1t could be plainly heard
by the officer of the deck as well as the
men. and it continued for several min
utes. To the crew it sounded like a flu
neral bell, and they decided that some
one was going to die.
with much difficulty the men were
finally sent to their hammocks and Or
dered to keep silence. The next morning
the story was all over the ship, from the
forecastle to the officers messes. When
night came again, many had forgotten the
incident, but at the same hour the tolling
of the bell was again distinctly heard.
and the whole crew gathered on deck to
listen in superstitious silence. The Off
GERS were much puzzled, and many
theories were advanced to account for
the strange and unusual noise.
'The third night found captain and all
hands, officers and men, on deck, deter
mined. if possible, to find a solution of
the mystery. At the proper time the
sound of the bell came clear and dis
tinct, tolling as if for funeral. The
captain and several Of the officers then
began careful investigation, which
soon cleared the matter up. The galley
nf chir, xxyhn fho
was under the topgallant forecastle, about
20 feet from the ships bell. The fires in
the galley were put out at o'clock, and
it was found that at certain point in
the process of cooling the contracting of
the metal in the galley made it give out a
cracking noise which accorded with GER
tain tones in the bell and caused it to
ring.
THE very puzzling ghost story was
solved, and the men went to their ham
mocks. many of them still shaking their
heads and predicting that there was trou-
bic in store for some body"

Le11nU FOX ARCTIC NIGHTS.
how Green1anders Account For
Their Long Senson of Dnrkness.

how Green1anders Account For
Their Long Season of Darkness.
A member of one of the former expedi-
tons to Greenland tells of curious ira
dition of the Eskimos to account for the
long arctic night and it's intense cold.
'trhere was a time," they say, "long
on the regions of the north and when the
strands along the sea were forever hidden
with nantes of living green.
Hence it was that peace and plenty
fell to the lot of this people and sorrow
was unknown among them. But one day
a strange thing came to pass. As the
people were resting and feasting among
the trees, as was their custom throughout
their wakeful hours, a 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.
snow, when the ivory white canoe had
f1oated quite up to the shore, great awe
fell upon the people, for there, fast asleep
among the folds of an ermine 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
and questioned her whence she came he
was troubled in his heart, for she had an
swered him:
al am DELTA, the daughter Of the spirit
Of the winds, and / have drifted here
from yorder snow white castle in the
north. But I will return there no more.
Henceforth my home shall be with you
and your people,
"And Immediately the spirit of the
winds arose in the north and in terrible
voice commanded that his daughter be re-
stored 10 him Immediately. But wher
the people of the tribe sought out theit
chief and counseled him to give the prin
cess into her fathers hands the youth
stood mute before them. Then, in obedi
ence to a gesture, they entered his ruined
house. and there on couch lay the beau
tiful princess, with her white hands
winter now than the snow howers-fold
ed silently over her breast.
"When the spirit of the winds looked
forth and beheld the princess cold in
death on the desolate strand, his anger
was yet more terrible against the kneel-
ing multitude, and he commanded dark.
ness to come upon them. And the ice
and the cold, and the darkness continued
for the space of many days before the of,
Tended spirit would relent and suffer the
sunshine to return for a brief season.
