CROSSING THE OCEM
Queer Things That Happen on
Atlantic Liners.
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.
"A strange thing happeued one.?

friends and who apparently was ex
tremely popular. 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

KILLING A WHALE.
Where All of the Bolt's Crew Lke4
Like Murderers. ,
It was ray bout piiiiege to, fasten
first, and we did so in grand style, says
a writer in Forest and Stream. 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.
