BELIEVED CAPTAINS YARN.
It Was Corroborated BY Missionary
Who Knew the Facts.

Capt. Bushick was one of the mos
popular of the old-time commanders OF
the Big NJ Line of steamships, sailing be-
tween New York and the far Southern
ports" said the Southern merchant. The
Captains yarns were very interesting
too, though to tell the truth, he some.
times strained the credulity of his lis.
teners to the breaking point, but the
old man had been telling these remarka-
BILE tales for SO many years that he be.
lieved them implicitly themselves.
"On the last night out of New York we
were gathered in the smoking room as
usual, and the old Captain outdid him.
self in story telling. Finally he told Us
most wonderful story of an experience
he had had when he was a cabin boy on
an Arctic whaler.
1T was to the effect that the ship he
was on had passed close to an iceberg.
and upon the lookout reporting a strange
looking animal upon it the Captain,
thinking he might be seal, had sent
the mate in small boat to Investigate
and capture it. When the mate landed on
the iceberg he found the object which the
lookout had seen was not seal but a
man dressed in sealskins, almost frozen

story. and had proved it, of how he was
the only survivor of a sealing vessel
which had been wrecked among the lee
berGs the previous year and how he had
been floating about on the iceberg ever
since, with nothing to eat but melted ire
The old Captain told the story in his
best manner. celebrating all the impos-
sible details of the mans terrible suff.
erings and privations. and expatiatins
upon the miraculousness of his preserva-
ton.
Think of it. gentlemen the old man
said, In conclusion This man was neark.

nothing to eat but frozen eggs. nothing
to drink but melted ice, nothing to wear

and ponder on the mysterious ways of
Providence
This story was the last straw that
broke the camers back; 1t was too much
even for this friendly audience. and when
the Captain finished there was a dead
silence, This rather nettled the old man
and he said. rather angrily:
Perhaps some of you. gentlemen
