AR0AT WITH THE DEAD

One morning when the American ship
Tornado was about fifty miles south Of
the Madeiras / was called to the look
out two hours after midnight, / was
digging my eyes and lighting away
sleep when curious sound from over
fhe bows caught my ear. 1t was dark
night with not a star visible, and /

only thing | could campare 1t to was

small boat

to the mate and give him any such ex-

the FIRST thing We saw was a ships boat
within half cables length Of us on the

them was.a woman, and all around the
boat the fsea was alive with sharks
T'ney were diving under the craft run

AS soon as we caught sight Of the
boat the mate ran to call the captain.
BY the time he had arrived the boat
he'd drifted right down against as, and
one OF the crew lowered himself down
and fastened the painter Then / got
down to assist him, and we passed up
the bodies the man first We might us
well have dropped him into the sea, for

at the end of two or three hours it was
reported that she had fallen into Il deep
sleep and would probably pun through,
1t may surprise you to learn how
long that eastaway female slept At
intervals the captain raised her head
to administer soup or drink. but not
actually to interrupt her sleep. and she
did not 0pon her eyes till fifty hours
had passed. Then sleep had brought
her fully back @ life. 1t was two or
three days later, however, before we
heard her story or, to our great
amazement learned that there was no

member nothing Of the psst not even

times over. The woman awoke to
find herself aboard a strange ship,
with strange men about her. She was
handsome and well formed, English in
looks and speech, but she wore no
jewelry and had neither a purse nor It
eardease When asked how she came
to be at sea with the man IN the gig
whether she had visited Madeira or
the Azores - whether she lived in
England or elsewhere she could tell
absolutely nothing She began a new
life as she opened her eyes in the cabin
Of the Tornado
To add to the romance, Or, rather,
10 make a romance Of it, our captain
fell in love with the woman, and she
returned the sentiment She would
have married him at the end Of a few
months, but he dared not chance it.
He fully believed that she was already
a wife and that word must come from
her husband sooner or later As for
her, the past was dead 1t was doubt
ed whether she would remember her
husband If he came to claim her. She
loved as any single woman might love.

stranger at once began sorrowful
story Six years before while his ship
was at tie islands his wife attempted
TO return to the ship in the face Of a
squall. and the boat was upset and the
occupants lost They found neither
boat nor bodies. but had no doubt
about the calamity The husband was
nearly crazed with grief and was a
victim Of brain fever for many months.
The story was not half told when Cap
tain Clark knew thai the woanans real
husband stood before him.
Whether he would have suppressed
the truth OF boldly stated It no man
but he can tell. blK he was not put to
the trial The climax was a curious
one, but in keeping. Tho stranger, who
gave his name as Burke. was looking
at Captain Clark in a puzzled way as
he told his. story perhaps having some
faint intuition Of the truth, when a
small anchor swinging from a beam
above his head broke loose from its
fastenings and fell upon and crushed
the life ont Of him, and be was dead

Not word was told the woman. and
she died ten years later without the
mystery having been explained 10 her.
When the name Burke was mentioned
