OsTERvILLE, Mass, Jan. 3-Few
vachtsmen who have sailed in the strange
little craft called the Cape cat know
ANYTHING about how the name originated.
In IsSJ Andrew Crosby and his two
bows came to Ostervile and settled.
About that time all the boats along the
Cape shore were called shsrpies. Those
boats were about twenty feet long and
sharp nt both ends Crosby was an old
shpbuilder, bat was so feeble that he
went out Of doors very little. He passed
most OF his time in the study Of spiritu-
alism.
During one spirit manifestation ho
claimed that he was going to have his
boys build a boat according to dimen-
sions that would be given from the din
ing room table on certain night. On
this night the old man and his sons gath
cred about the table, which was soon
moved up and down twelve times. This
they took to mean that the boat should
be made twelve feet long. Later mani
festations revealed the width, depth
length Of watelline, where to put the mast
and how long the mast must be.
The day that the boat was completed
the spirit named her the Eva. All the
boatmen along the shore laughed at the
craft and said that no boat would sail
with no keel. All the old sailors were
around when the new boat was launched
and many were there with their boats to
give the new one trial.
As soon as she was in the water one
Of the boys set the sail and started. with
the feet after him. The old sea captain
that related this story and who was there
at IL q launching said the Eva would sail
