Romance in Origin
OF Supershhons
BY H. I. KING.
Hair and Storms.

IAdlI dIlu oICIItiS.
There came into New York the
other day Norwegian steamer sew
eral days overdue because of heavy
weather. During the first half OF
her voyage she encountered gales
and tremendous seas which threat
cned to engulf her. Then, when
things were at their worst, the cap
tain mustered all hands and had
their hair cut. The storm ceased
and the ship had good weather for
the rest of the trip. The captain
said he had ordered the hair-cutting
because he had heard that his viking
ancestors had performed the same
rite in similar straits. Here is a
most interesting case of "reversion
to type"
1t was true-his Morse ancestors
had done that same thing in the
days when Odin gloried and drank
deep in Valhalla. Among the an
clients the hair, being considered as
a peculiarly intimate part of man
sometimes as the seat of strength
was frequently cut and offered up
as sacrifice to the gods. Juyenal
says that the hair should only be
cut at sea in times of danger and
as final offering to the gods: as it
would offend them to cut it at other
times.
In the Morse sagas Odin is rep
resented as the great storm-god,
sweeping the seas with warriors
pushing his train. So the vikings
eased his wrath by the propitiatory
offering of their hair-even as did
their descendants the other day
