THE LURE OF THE DEEP SEA, Passengers Oftentimes Vanish During Voyag to Find a Grave Beneath the WavesA Bibulous Man's Lai urely Swim In Midocsan. "Queer thiufjs continually happen during a voyage." said a veteran purse f an Atlantic liner. "As you are probably aware, ahnosl the commonest occurrence during voyage is the mysterious and sudden disappearance of a passenger. Seven times bus this happened while I have been following uiy profession, and in ao single liistnuce have we been able to satisfactorily account for the miss lng traveler. Most of them, of course, we put down to suicide, but I feel bound to say that I think iu some in stances we have been wrong. Now, here is a case In Hiut Six years ago we had on board a young Australian, a handsome, well set up fellow, who seemed to have ?.iore money than would satisfy his wants and who told . me himself that he was going to the states to marry the prettiest and sweet est girl in all I'eunsylvania. , "lie was the brightest fellow on ' board, sang well, played well, was ex pert at all kinds of sport and a general . favorite with every one. lie had a cabin on the lower deck, a fine big room, where I smoked many a cigar with him. Weil, on the fifth day out he didn't come on deck. People asked where he was, and the general impres elon seemed to be that be had been up rather late the night before "and was doubtless taking a few extra minutes between the sheets. But about noon the bedroom steward came to me and tated that he couldn'tiget In No. 27 tbe stateroom occupied by the popular traveler. No one could get any re ajponse, so we sent for the carpenter. The door was smashed in, and the room was found to" be empty. The portholes were wide open, and all we could assume was that be bad crept out of one of these and met with a watery grave. Reason? We never dis covered any, but my belief Is that he acted in his sleep. He was too happy a man to take his own life. "On another occasion two ladies, sis ters, disappeared. Both were charm ing and pretty, though some of the passengers afterward remarked that they usually seemed somewhat sad and preoccupied. I - had , often con versed with them and regarded them ' as the most attractive women on board. The night before we docked was a beautiful one, though intensely dark, and it "was evidently ou this night that they left the ship. Xo one saw them after 10 o'clock. The look out reported nothing. No splash was heard, no cry. But in the mornings they had vanished as silently and mys teriously as the darkness, leaving no' word, behind.

He spent half his time in the smoking room, standing drinks to any one and every one and Imbibing rather more than was good for himself. Well, about 4 o'clock In the afternoon he was with several other men on the promenade deck the weather was glorious and the sea with scarcely a rlppie-when, throwing off bis coat, he exclaimed, 'Here goes for swimr and disappeared over the side. "There was a yell which almost put the wireless out of business, and the captain, who had witnessed the affair,' topped the ship almost In her own length. Boats were lowered, and will ing arms pulled to where the man was supposed to be fighting for bis life. Instead of any struggle, however, he was taking long, easy strokes and evi dently thoroughly enjoying himself. When pulled into one of the boats he ejaculated the single word, 'Grand V and almost Immediately fell Into a kind of comatose state. He was put to bed in hot blankets and soon re covered. After an interview with tue captain he was allowed his liberty, though a strict watch was kept on him during the rest of the voyage. ' "A tragic occurrence took place about fsir years ago, the facts of which you will perhaps recall. It was during a voyage east, and we had among the second cabiu passengers a widov and her three young children-two uoys and a girl. The woman appeared to be much depressed, though the youngsters were as lively and merry as children generally are on board. .The woman, It appears, spoke to none of the other pas sengers, and for her aloofness she was regarded with some suspicion. How ever, she was very quiet, and, as she appeared to be reading all day, not much notice was taken of her. '. "One morning she was standing with her children, looking over the side of the vessel, when, with no warning, she 1 suddenly tossed them, oue after the other, into the sea and immediately fol lowed them herself. It was all done so expeditiously and quietly that those who saw the tragedy were for a few minutes too dazed to give the ijarin. The ship was stopped in record time and boats lowered, but the entire quar tet had disappeared as though some In visible force had dragged them down. After two hours the search was given up and the boats returned to the ship. Another secret had been bequeathed to the ocean's mighty bosom." London Tit-Bits. 7' Sandwich Man Is Old. .

The big fellow toy blowing in one position land we" sailed on him head and bend and .rastened to mm who two Har poons, one of them Mug an explosive. When 'be felt the iron he turned and plunged under our boat and covered us with the spray from his flukes as he tossed them up In the air to dive. Ami he did not stop, either, for par line whizzed around the loggerhead, giv ing out u blue sheet of smoke until the end of it went by ns like a bullet He had gone down with our 300 fathoms of line in less than a minute. In- a few minutes be npi-eured again near one of the other bouts, and he got two more harpoons, one of tuera. ex plosive, and then the other two boats shot in and fastened with two irons apiece. Meanwhile the beast was coursing around and spouting blood in a frantic manner, and it took six bomb lances besides the eight harpoons to subdue hlri.. Our next hit was made on the 9th. when our boat fastened again." The whale did not go very far this time, but Just circled around us in a short line. . Another whale from the herd kept by him until the kill and then made, off to windward. The other boat was off after some other whales. Tbey could have got him easily. While we were tied to the dead whale we made out his comrade coming down to us at a great speed, aud it looked as if he meant mischief. We hurriedly cut adrift from our capture and", get ting fresh harpoons and lances ready, prepared for his onslaught In a min ute he was close to us, and while he stopped to take a look we jumped the boat ahead and darted two Irons, which started him off at a high speial to wind ward, and the people ou the" ship told lis afterward that we- literally skipped from one sea to the next. All we were conscious of was the fact that the boat simply rested on her keel, and the spray flew over us in great sheets. , , At last he slacked up and gave us a chance to put in a bomb lance. lie made a rush to leeward, to where we had left the dead whale, straight as 8 die and right over him, dragging us over, too, of course, all the time spout Iig blood. Then he dived under us and came up with his blowhole right un der the mate's nose, who was looking over the side for him, and he got the spout of thick blood right In the face at less than a yard distant. Of course it spattered all of us, and when we hauled alongside with our two whales we all looked as much like murderers as anything else.'. -The cap tain was highly pleased with bur per formance, and he at once awarded our mate the pig, for it had been put up as a prize. fine Anyway t He Have yon any fine tooth combs?
