sights produced by refractiop. There

vision that they were able to recognise
acquaintances among the oficers and

stranger and It's crew was observed
to tumble into It. Everything was %
real. 20 obvious. that IL seemed impoe.
sible that they could be deceived. They
recognized the ship as the Barracouta.
She was too well known TO admit Of
the least doubt as to her Identity
When the passenger ship arrived at 81
mons Bay q short time after, every.
'pooy expected to see the Barracouta
at anchor. But ahe was not there. and
DID not arrive until week afterwards
The frst thing to do was to compare
notes and explain the mystery II was

than reflection or refTsction In cloud
