formation of the rocks and the shad-
W they cast combine to produce the
effect of a bark running under short
sail.
The passage through the strait of
lie Marie is not often made. Steamers
shorten the route by going through
the strait Of Magellan, while sailing
vessels usually prefer to be entirely on
the safe side by going still farther
south and rounding the Horn itself.
Only under the most favorable condi.
lions Of weather do they slip through
the strait Of lie Marie on the outward
trip, going toward the southwest, but
never when bound for the north. For
this reason many old sailors have
never met the ghost ship or the rock

Those who have seen it give a mi
mute description of the rock and testify
to its striking resemblance to a ship.

the whole thing resolves itself into a
conglomeration of black rocks. The
perpetual fog Of these regions helps,
Of course, to befuddle the vision.
The rock looking like a ship is by no
means a rare natural formation. Al
most every sailor has seen one in some
part of the world. In tho Clipperton

sails.
About six or seven miles west of
Honolulu there is a rock known as
French Frigate rock because once
upon a time a French frigate went
ashore on it. The cliffs looked 80
much like a ship that the frigate was

The phantom ship seer in the vi.
cinity Of Cape Horn is, as has been
proved by the investigation of various
photographic bureaus, nothing more
or less than a rock which under GER
tain atmospheric conditions bears a
deceptive resemblance to a ship.
Very often vessels coming from Eu.
rope to the west by way Of Cape
Horn have been startled to see what
appeared to be a derelict with the
water washing owe her deck. If the
sailors We're Of an imaginative turn
they would invest the unknown ship
with ghostly qualities and call her the
"ghost ship" of LIE Marie, from the
strait of that name. where she was
usually seen.
One of the stories which have been
longest remembered is that of the i'll
fated Crown of Italy, which sighted
the supposed derelict and subsequently
went ashore. The Crown of Italy was
standing close to the jagged black
rocks at the entrance to the strait of
lie Marie when she sighted what
seemed to be a waterlogged bark
drifting on the rocks Of the strait.
Many other ships rounding the Horn
have seen a similar apparition, and the
various photographic offices of the
world have received many reports to
that effect.
Some years ago the Norwegian bark
Servia got into Seattle with the tale
OF a phantom ship that almost exactly
corresponded to that given by the
Crown of Italy. The second officer OF
the Norwegian vessel declared that he
had seen a derelict with sails set and
decks awash drifting in through the
strait. 1t was this report that led gu,
government officers to make public the
declaration that the phantom ship was
nothing but a combination of rocks
and shadows.
The numerous reports of derelicts OF
ghost ships always appearing in the
same place led even the Argentine
government to look into the matter
"A tender vas sent out from the near
by lighthouse with the object of max
ing an investigation, and it was found
that the apparition was due to q
strange freak of nature. Among the

DUCHESS OF WESTMINSTER, ENGLISH SOCIETY LEADER.

7HEN you look upon this portrait of the Duchess Of Westminster,
w which, i faith, is measurably good to look upon, you behold
the form and features Of the undisputed leader of English So

the SWEETEST figure in Brtain's bright little, tight little isle, and she cuts
it beautifully. The duke, Hugh Richard Arthur Grosvenor-four names,

acres in London. Think of owning coo acres in Greater New York city,

TWO MIDDIES MISSING.
Naval Academy Practice Squadron
Men Lose Way in Norway.

The two midshipmen who have been
missing since last Thursday from the
Naval Academy practice squadron, now
at Bergen, Norway, are Charles L. Cliff
ford of Massachusetts and CASTOR L.
Holmes of Mississippi, both of the second
class. The men are apparently lost in
the mountains between Bergen and Chris
tiania. Capt. CoontZ, commanding the
squadron, today reported to the Navy De-
partment that he was not apprehensive
of any fatality. A searching party has
located the trail of the young men three
times in the vicinity of Haugestal walk
ing toward Christiania. This indicates
they have lost their way, as they are
proceeding away from Bergen, where their
ships are anchored.
AS a matter of recreation the midship-
men went on an excursion to Finse, Nor

left the party during the twenty-five
minutes interval after dinner and missed
their train. Each has a return ticket.

Lynnfield. The Blues are conducting
their campaign according to the most
modern methods. The old numbering army

SAYS CASTRO IS TRYING
TO LAND.|N VENEZUELA
Diplomatic Officer Likens ex-
Presidents Case to That
of Flying Dutchman."

Ex-President Castro, in the opinion Of a
diplomatic officer who has given some
study to the problem of locating the
Venezuelan, is now a sort Of Flying
Dutchman" making desperate effort to
reach a friendly port in his native coun
try, and just as he nears his goal, being
turned back, not by storms, but by
watchful guardians of the Venezuelan
coast or warships of other nations which
seek to prevent renewal of his activi-
ties in his own country.
According to this official, the basis for
stories that Castro had landed in west
ern Venezuela was the appearance off
the little Dutch island of Aruba of the
yacht Coronet, flying the American flag.
She sent a boat ashore under pretense
of buying supplies, but so limited were
the purchases that it was evident the
ship stood in no great need of food. The
inhabitants reported the sfacts to the
Dutch governor, but the vessel disap-
peared.

POSTAL EMPLOYEES PROMOTED.
Inc eases in Salary Total Yearly Ag-
gregate of 100000.

Postmaster General Hitchcock has or
dered promotions for post Office clerks
and city letter carriers carrying increases
in salaries approximating 100000 a
year. Orders were also issued for pro-
motions in the railway mail service
which will total $175.O0O a year. These
increases are in addition to the increases
for rural mail carriers, totaling 100000
a year, which became effective July /.
The four great groups of postal en-
ployes have received increases In pay
aggregating 100000 during the current
fiscal year. Postmaster General Hitch
cock says the increases will be more than
offset by increased efficiency of the en-
ployes, and he believes the advances are
warranted by the fact that the post office
is now practically on a self-sustaining
basis.

Vessel Again Vanishes.

The Coronet next appeared we'll up in
the Gulf of Maracaibo, at a point well
suited for landing party. The governor
of the province started an investigation.
but again the vessel disappeared. How
ever, it was reported that ample oppor-
tunity had been had for Castro, if aboard,
to have communicated with some of his
lieutenants ashore. or, If ashore himself,
to have gotten word to the ship.
Now a careful search has been made
Of the entire Coadjira peninsula, the
Venezuelans have satisfied themselves
that Castro is not there, and the belief
prevails that he is still afloat somewhere.
