4 Mystery Of the Sea

we were making the round voyage
from Liverpool to Sydney, calling at
aape Town, and the days observation
nad shown that we were about half
way between Cape Town and Australia,
When man aloft sang out that he
gould descry a ships boat about two
mixes away on the lee bow For eight.
een days we had not sighted a sail
we had been as much alone on that
ocean as Il ships and men did not ex-
fist.
It was driving with wind and
sea, and until we fell Off our course
and passed It within biscuit toss we
supposed II to be empty. AS we pass
eu u we saw girl crouching in the
bottom, and when we raised shout
she stood up and suppIicated us with
hands and arms to save her.
The bark was brought to the wind
and boat lowered, and after little
we had the girl aboard. 1 say girl, for
she was not day over sixteen and
was Of German birth, though she
could speak English toerabIy well. IL
was only when she was safe aboard
that we found she had lost her mind
and was Ike child. OF course the
first thing was to overhaul the boat,
She had no name. There were few
biscuits left but the water keg had
been empty for at least three days.
There We're no oars, no spare clothing
not the slightest thing to give us a
ciew to the identity of the girl or the
name Of the craft from which she must
have cast of. She had not suffered
greatly In physical way, but was
mentally upset and looked about her
50 strangely that we wondered II she
had ever seen a ship before She was
given a spare stateroom and fell asleep
almost at once and did not open her
eyes for sixteen hours. Meanwhile
her clothing had been inspected for
marks or initials. There were none
While the garments were serviceable
they belonged rather TO wealthy girl
than a poor one
1t was hoped that when the stranger
awoke her mind would be clear and
that we should hear her story, but in
that we were disappointed. She met
us with a smile and asked how she
came aboard. She did not even recol-
lect being taken from the boat said
she had lost her mind Perhaps it
would be nearer the mark to say mem
DRY, though at the same time 1t could
be seen that the hardships she had
passed through had more or less az
fected her mind as we'll We saw how
1t was almost at once and did not
crowd her From the first she seemed
to feel at home, calling each Of MS by
a name she had selected herself, and
she had not been with us five days

her out. There was nothing to draw,

that girl had the pity and sympathy Of
every man aboard. The many tricks
we resorted TO to call her memory
back would make book. The sailors
before the mast were allowed to make
suggestions, and every day some new
scheme was suggested She knew the
uses OF the comb, brush and glass, and
she could sew. Her table manners
showed that she had been well reared.
She would take a book and read for
hours, but 1t was a disputed point
with us how much she understood We
mentioned the name OF almost every
town In Germany, but all seemed
strange to her. Then we tried South
Africa, and our earnestness made her
laugh merrily Nothing was surer than
that her father and mother were Ger
mans, but when German sailor
aboard sought TO converse with her in
that language she simply stared at
him. Wherever our charts showed
that the Germans had a colony in the
Pacific we mentioned the name, but 1t
did no good.
The girl spoke to US only In broken
German and was a child in her ways.
