Captain Hutchins' Experience
NEARLY every town, the world over has its SOM
: nambul1stic tales. There is the tradition of an
old monk who wandered nightly great cathe-
dral, performing remarkable feats of strength But
this story IS not well authenticated. Every village
seems to have its story. Such tales particularly
common among sailors and one of them told of an
old Greenwich Captain. is worth repeating, though
it might not bear scientific examination
Captain lIutchins had been running a fishing
boat out of the harbor for years and knew every
inch of the He knew it SO we'll that nothing
under heaven would have tempted him to take his
boat out between Big and Little Captains Islands,
especially at slack water. One night, though, he
came out of his little cottage by the shore rowed

Dor. There was stiff easter blowing that he had

Climbed Down the Side
of a House

they had retired. the father and mother were
Weakened suddenly by footsteps. They seemed to
be in the front of their Quarters and were not,
therefore, those of servant. Surprising that bur
glars had entered his rooms, the father rose his
wife following him, protesting against the risk
Together they went into the hallway and heard
distinctly the closing of window. They reached
the paror just in time to head disappearing
over the balcony railing. This balcony one of
series, projecting from all but the two lower floors
and supported by wrought iron brackets that rested
the lintels of the lower windows
They rushed into the bay window, next to the
that had been closed, and the face of
their twelveye old boy. The father realized in
stantly that he was asleep. The mother cried out
to him; but her husband stopped the cry, fear
ing that the boy would fall if awakened. In the
dim light they stood there he slipped down the
rail, twined his feet round the bracket beneath
and with quick movement got his hands on it.
Then he swung himself clear and dropped to the
balcony below. With the greatest and con-
fdence he would climb over the rail of one balcony
slip down the bracket, and drop. And with every
appearance of his face in the dim light they could
that his eyes closed.
Suddenly it occurred to the father that the bal
comics stopped at the third floor, and that the dis
lance to the ground was increased by deep cellar
way, usl to light the basement. He rushed to the

elevator; but it had stopped
running. He tore down the
stairs. 1t was a sharp autumn
night. and the air was filled
with frost. He reached the
bottom at last, tore out on
to the sidewalk and looked
up. He had hoped to ar
live in time to call out to his
son before he swung off the
last balcony. in the hope of
waking him in a place of
safety. But already the boy
was over the rail. As before,
he slipped down with a con-
fldence that would have
been startling enough in
trained circus performer. In
ones own child, it is ilnpossi-
bic to describe the sensation.
Frantically the father
stretched out his arms to
catch the lad as he fell. But
the boy did not fall. Instead
he felt about the wall cauti-
ously with his toes, until he
struck a niche in the stone,
then catching hold of a pro-
jecting block above he be-
gan to climb slowly down the
side of the wall. Several
times when he had let him
self down to his full length,
he was compelled to draw
himself up again for new
try. When he was just above
his fathers reach, he half
turned; but, instead of top
pling over, as his father
feared, he leaped lightly to

These three. among the
comparatively rare instances
that have been thoroughly
studied and are we'll authen-

rather for mental than phys

to have required constant

often went into commissions.

creditable sources, of children
walking about, of startled
parents and hairbreadth es-
