There is story aioat 20 the effect
that the fishermen Of Gloucester believe
Rudyard Kipling 20 have the evil eye.
The reason for the belief Is said to be
that when he wrote his Gloucester fish
ing story, Captains urageous.-' he
mentioned in it twenty Gloucester
boats, every one Of which has met with
disaster. The tale would sound more
plausible if the Gloucester fisherman
generally counted the evil eye among
his superstitions; but perhaps it IS not
strange that a fish story should come
from town whose main industry is
connected with the cod.

It is said to be certain that J. PieTpont

manuscripts in the Liverpool Athenaeum

cause the price is too low, but because
the authorities consider that the manu-

to sell them.
