the service referring to sinister influences being
used to drive the life-Savers from beaches and

plying groups OF heroic and honest fishermen
with lifeboats.
In 1889, it is recorded, an itinerant preacher,
who was believed to have joined the picaroonS,
appeared on the coast visiting the hfe-saving
stations as self-appointed chaplain. This al
legged preacher made pretense of holding serv-
ices of a religious nature but merely sought
to incite the surfmen to mutiny at such times
as ships were in peril Having some clever
ness in writing, this same man contributed
numerous articles to newspapers of that day.

o nfe-saving service.
"Lifeboats vanished from the unguarded life
saving stations. The stations themselves Suf-
fered from neglect and the equipment suf-
fered from theft and vandalism. Disasters, at
tended with frightful loss Of life, continued to
occur in the immediate neighborhoods Of the
stations. On being taken out, much Of the APP
paratus was found useless even nfelines had
been sashed with knives by picarooning van
dals," stated one report, issued prior to the
time Of manning the stations with paid crews.
In the meantime Fire Island and Barnegat
remained synonyms Of horror In the fo'csles
with many q deep-sea oath that 1t were bet

on the shoals, than to become q castaway among

Especially on foreign ships suicide pacts were
frequently made by entire crews rather than
to fall among the wreckers for even In an en-

THERE was the Inflated Spanish brig Au-

DRoBABLY the most appalling results from
this superstitious fear of monsters lurking
along the Atlantic Coast occurred aboard the
italian bark Monte Tabor, Of Genoa, when o
horrifying suicide pact was signed by the entire
crew as the vessel struck hard on Peaked Hill
Bar. of Cape Cod, on the night Of September
IA, 1896, and her cabin became SHAMELESS as
Threats were slashed.
Circumstances of this wreck gave promise Of
forming one of the great sea mysteries, with
suspicion Of sudden mutiny and murder, but
the suicide pact to escape monsters of fo'c'sle
mythology was revealed by Angelo Cassisa, cabin
boy. who was miraculously washed ashore in
a tangle of wreckage while awaiting his turn
for self destruction with blood dripping razor

teorites scientists during the eighteenth CEN
tury ridiculed the fact that stone could fall
from the sky.
aTheir argument was simplicity itself.
Stones could not fan from the SKY. therefore
they did not. Who could ask for more? But
despite the dictum OF the greatest scientists
(and this included every branch Of natural
science as well as astronomers) stones kept
on falling In 1903 Blot was finally delegated
by the French Academy to investigate the fall

their place as respectable, II minor. members
of the solar system"
It was on November 49, 1888, that one Of
the greatest Of meteor showers appeared. At
this time all the meteors seemed to radiate
from point in the constellation Of Leo, the
lion. Every year. in November, meteors APP

point known as the radiant The meteors
of this group. because Of this, are known as
the Leonids.
TT was the 1888 shower. says Prof. Olivier, that

to the fact that meteors constituted neg

33-year intervals, and so it was predicted that
another large shower would happen on Me-

as predicted. -
!; In 1899 it was expected again, and while
nothing as brilliant as in 1888. or 1866 ep-
peared, there were unusually large numbers Of
meteors, even for November. Perhaps 1898

them.
Several of these showers were shown to
be connected with comets The Perseid me-

then they have not been seen. B .s
This shows the connection between meteors
and comets, and perhaps comets are being
formed in distant solar systems. Perhaps along
with them the tiny planets and the meteoritea
are also being created.
