] The following story was published
by a sea captain In ~Aftonbladet" Of

people still living I'M Arendal who re-
member the occurrence which Is here
described.
One dark night several years ago .
sailing vessel from Arendal, Norway
was crossing the north Atlantic, on
it's way from America to England.
There was a strong east wind, against
which the ship was tacking. As 1t
drew toward eight bells In the even
ing. the captain was walking back and
forth on the bridge. trying to make up
his mind whether to put about or to
continue on the same course for an
other watch or two.
As he walked he suddenly received
q blow on his chest, which, he discov-
cred. had been dealt by q sea bird.
Then his winged assailant quickly dis
appeared to leeward.
A few moments later the captain
was just giving the commandsto turn
the vessel when he again received q
blow In the chest from the same mes
senger. Then the bird disappeared AZ
before In southwesterly direction.
After this had been repeated several
more times, the bird. after each blow

captain, who thought there must be
something supernatural In the matter
decided to follow the bird. Instead pi
turning back, he caused the boats
course to be sent toward the south
west. This was no sooner' done than
the bird settled down ons the ships
railing beside the captain.
The boat now sailed at aigreat pace
before the STRONG wind. But although
q sharp watch was kept. aft - well al
forward, half the night passed and
nothing unusual was discovered.
The crew began to joke about the
"old mans" maneuver, and the cap
tain himself doubted the wisdom oi

tacking would be required to regain.

The vote stood seventeen TO SIX
