1T WOULD not have hap
pened that way when the city
was young. Early Washing
ton had some fear inspiring
ghosts.
1t took a brave man, for ex-
ample, to cross the Rock
Greek bridge in Georgetown
at night in the early 1905.
Those were the days when
the creek was wide enough to
admit ocean-going ships. The
bridge was a long wooden af-
fair, and served quite ade-
quately day and night for
many years.
But during a fierce storm
on one of the darkest nights
of the year it collapsed as a
stage coach was crossing 1t.
The coach, the horses and the
driver plummeted into the
stream, and the driver and
horses drowned.
The inhabitants did not let
reality interfere with ro-
nance. They began telling of
seeing a ghostly coach with
an equally ghostly driver,
whipping up his horses as if
in a panic to cross the bridge
before it collapsed.
The ghost coach was seen,
of course, only on dark nights
and during raging storms.
