The stillness was dis turbed first by what seemed a guitar played a few feet from us, and as sweet a voice as ever we heard singing to it in a low tone. In au instant the sound of voices and fiiotsteps was heard all about us, but, Idthough the room was as light as lamps could make it,.4 we saw nothing. The singing continued until the same sweet voice, in the most piercing and sharpest utterance, cried "help.' As the unearthly yell broke ford we felt our heart beet quickly, our breath come heavily, and every nerve tingle. Three times did this mysterious voice cry 'help.' After this followed what seemed to be a dance of madmen, together with the most 8e moniao screams ever heard."
