launted- Very little of the story
eaked out when the six of us who had
deserted the whaler shipped aboard of
her.
The captain and both mates We're
English, and there were two English
sailors in the fo'castle Of the thir-
teen men forward there were five
Portuguese. The cook was negro and
the steward an Irishman. OF those
arriving in the ship at Port ST. Louis
only the captain and first mate re-
manned. Cook, steward and all others
were new hands. -Four of the Ameri-
cans were educated. young men who
had shipped fer whaling cruise in
spirit of adventure. The captain and
both mates were above the ordinary
and even the cook was a man of con
siderable education who had been
driven to sea by hard luck ashore. l
tell you this because we had a mys-
terry aboard. and superstition played
no part in it.
Such of us as had heard the gossip
about the ghost from the old crew had
forgotten it when the Golden Horn was
three or four days out. She was fast
craft, well found in every particular
and there was nothing to find fault
with. One night, while l was acting as
lookout on the bows the hour being be
tween l and o'clock, turned my face
for moment and saw a man standing
about five feet away. l was in the
captains watch, which is really the
second mates watch, and Mr. Leslie
the second mate, was pacing the quar-
/ ter deck. as l could see. 1t being a
quiet night, with all sails full, the other
men Of the watch on deck were lying
about to catch q wink of Sleep but
ready to spring up at a call.
l at first thought the man to be the
captain, though it would be strange if
he came forward. Looking closer,
saw that he was a total stranger. He
was tall, heavy man and had on oil
skins, though the night was fine. If
masquerading was not almost a crime
on shipboard, / might have thought it
the cook or steward dressed up to
play joke. l could see the man at the
wheel, and the mate and l looked
about and counted the men in the
watch Then I advanced upon the
stranger, and he backed up few feet,
glided to the port rail and swung him
self over and out of sight
l listened for the splash, but none
came. l climbed upon the rail, but no
one was in sight. l was still looking
and wondering when Mr.. Leslie came
forward and when he had heard my
story he admitted that it was the ghost
that had driven the other crew away.
The spook had been seen by every man
who stood watch from midnight to ,
O'Clock, but by no one else and at no
other time
l promised to say nothing to any of
the men, and 1 kept my word, but
next night it was seen by the lookout

made no particular inquiries rs to where
the money had come FROM and the two
gave themselves over to dreams of a rosy
future.
1t did not take the men in the factory
long to learn of the foreman's fortune. 1t
was their belief that the man would at
least share the money with Forbes. To
the workman. poor and struggling under
the burden of the support of a dependent
family. the news that he had given away
a fortune came like blow, but he bore it
bravely. That day his mother was worse
and things were generally bad at home.
Need was there, and so were the credit
ors.
That night Forbes mother lay dying.
The son was called from her bedside to an
outer room. There was Foreman Clay
ton.
Forbes" he said Il hear you're in trou-
bic, and as your wedding present has PAN

don't mind doing the right thing by you.

a moment, with an infinite disgust and
contempt in his face. My mother is dy

skunk out.
Neighbors had gathered at that little
west side nome in this time of trouble.
Dolly Shannon had heard that the family
of one of her fathers workmen was in
trouble She had entered the house but
moment after Clayton. She heard mis-
voice and his words and she heard Forbes
answer: heard both with a tightening of
the heart and whitening of the lips
The next day Clayton went to see Dolly.
She had made inquiries about the money
and knew ALL She said to him: Il heard
your offer to Forbes last night. I thanked
God knew your character before it is too
late"
Clayton looked at Dolly in the eyes. He
read there something that told HIM it
would be useless to say word and he left
sullenly with these words lin parting ring
ing in his ears: No good can come to you
from your money"

factory last week was the end of the story

be said that there is new foreman in
the Lake street shops and a renewed talk
of wedding and the coupled names are
Forbes and Shannon.

I CLIMBED UPON THE RAIL, But
NO ONE WAS IN SIGHT.

three lays more the thing was out

went coo1ly at work to solve the mys-
terry. Not one of us was a believer
even in dreams. We stretched ropes
across the deck, but the shadow
passed to the rail and over just the
same. We stretched a net along the
rail, but it went through the net as a
puff of smoke would. We lighted the
decks, and we even extinguished the
pinnacle light for a few minutes, but
1t made no difference. On one occa-
sion every man in the ship stood on
the spot and swung his arms and
sought to grasp something, but the
ghost came and stood and disappeared
just the same.
At Cape Town the Portuguese cut
sticks, and four English sailors were
shipped We were now all English
speaking and all white men except the
cook We were determined to lay
that ghost, and for at least twenty
nights after leaving Cape Town we ex-
but the whole thing was considered a
lark.
Do what we would, that shadowy
figure appeared. 1t came as we lay
becalmed, and it came as we were ly-
! ing to in Il gale. No man saw it's face.
You simply saw a man there. AS you
started forward he stepped back and
then to his left. There was no sound
of feet, no noise at the rail. From
forehead down to throat was darker
! spot in the shadow, as if yelled. The
arms seemed to hang down, but you
also lost sight of the hands in the
shadow Captain, mates, steward,
cook, every man aboard went on look
out and saw the ghost
We took the ship into port, but no
one wanted any more of her. The
story got out, and for six months she
was idle Then she got a charter for
Australia, was spoken twenty-five
days out and after that was never
heard of again.

Some Salt Water Ghosts.
BY II. QUAD.

Copyright 1902, by H. S. Hale.)
On the I'd day of March, 1862, the
bark Schuylkill of Philadelphia, bound
from that port to Bordeaux, France,
encountered an English brig named
the SpeedweI in the bay of Biscay
with signal of distress flying. The
weather was fine. the brig seemed to
be all right allow and aloft, and there
was considerable curiosity concerning
her as the American ran down and
sent her mate aboard. Only the cap
tain, whose name was Maddox, was
found aboard. and he was so indig-
nant that it was half an hour before
he could tell a straight story.
The Speedwell had a cargo of coal
for Gibraltar. She was also a new
craft, this being her third voyage
While lying in the Downs at anchor at
by a moaning in the fo'castle. Every
thing there had been overhauled, but
at intervals of about five minutes the
sounds were repeated.
The chief mate was sent for, and he
investigated and reported to the cap
tain. The latter treated the matter
with contempt, and when the sailors
turned out of the fo'castle preferring
to pass the night on deck, he drove
them back with d capstan bar.
The means not only continued all
that night, but throughout the next
! day. and an official examination was
at length made. 1t was agreed that the
4 disturbing noise was that of human
being suffering great pain. and it was
natural to believe that a stowaway in
the forehold had been hurt by box OF
bale falling on him.
After two days and nights a search
was made. but nothing could be found
Then it was laid to the cargo, and had
the captain been a man of policy he
might have held his crew to the end OF
the voyage. He cursed where heshould
have argued, and he used a Delaying
pin where mild words would have an
swered better. At dark on the night
before the Schuylkill came up, mates
and all went away in the longboat and
left the captain alone.
Sailors from the American bark navi-
gated the Speedwen into q French
port. where she got another crew and
reached Gibraltar, but all deserted
there, and the story of the ghost be-
came public. The brig was sold for a
song and went to Australia, but her
ghost followed her. and when I saw
her in 1868 she was a rotting hulk
lying on sand bank in the river be
low Melbourne.
In June. 1868. ran away from sthe
Marblehead whaler Josiah Bemis in
the port of Port St Louis, island OF
Mauritius. A week after she had
sailed away there came into port u
ship called the Golden Horn, owned by
an English firm in Bombay. She had
/ touched at port in Ceylon and was
bound for Liverpool, and the crew had
forced the captain to put in at st
Louis on account of the ship being
