have left II there by this time, and
will have made his own getaway

in an awestruelS way confided to me
that he thought there was q strange
man aboard the ship. He said that in
his watch he had been shelterinE be-
hind the deckhouse. as there WAS a
raIn-storm, when he saw a tall, thin
man, who was not like any OF the
crew, come up the companion-way,
and go along the deck forward, and
disappear. He followed cautiously,
but when he got to bows found no
one. and the hatchways were all
closed He was in q panic of supersti-
tIous fear, and am afraid the panic
may spread. To allay 1t, shall to-
day search entire ship carefully from
stem to stern.
Later in the day got together the
whole crew, and told them, as they
evidently thought there was some one
in the ship we would search from
stem to stern. First mate angry; said
II was folly, and to yield to such fool
ish ideas would demoralize the men !;
said he would engage to keep them
out Of trouble with q handspike. I
let him take the helm, while the rest
began thorough search, all keeping
abreast, with lanterns: we left no
