The Savannah morning news. (Savannah, Ga.) 1900-current, 1903-08-02

The doctor had graduated year be-
fore and settled in an inland town, but
often thought of his college days at the
coast, consequently when the Jones
boys wrote for him to come down and
rough it awhile, on Sullivan's Island
he was not long in packing his suit
case and making tracks for the beach.
1t was in August, in the early nineties.
a. D.. and the late nineties Fahren-
heit, a combination that worked all
right when salt breezes and surf baths
We're to be thrown on the right side of
the balance, so the Jones boys had said.
And the doctor soon found that they
were right.
Lazily dreaming, talking, smoking
or reading the sunlight hours away,
time passed. and short vacations were
drawing to a close when one day the
talk drifted to things unreal and shad-
cws not explained. The island had
many weird stories, some dating back
to the times when Sir Peter Parker S
men tried to ford the inlet and take
Fort Moultrie from the rear, and then
running down almost to the present.
You should have heard what that
old vegetable woman told me this
morning." volunteered the Kid in an
interval. 1t was about that old wreck
of house, way up beyond the myrtles
and near the inlet
Dat place shure bin hanted, honey,
she said. And when / asked her more
about it she shook her old kinky head
until the turban almost fell off and
said in a whisper. DE sailor man dun
