Ho was tho youngest cf livo sons, was
a studious man of about -10, and, on

ho succeeded hail been in tho navy,
and was a rollicking, thriftless fellow.
When ho died it took all tho ready

except three who bad been long in tho

that they must bo punctual with tho
rent, as lio needed money. Tho rtst
of tbo narrative will bo given in his
own words, as published in his ''Ac
count of tho Strange domes at Yut
Hall."
"Punctually at Christmas-tide the
rents were paid, savo in threo or four
cases, tho which I inquired into and
forgavo the debtor. For, indeed, in
soma cases tbo man had been sick and
died, or evil distempers had atllicted
tho family. 'P10 thing
that most amazed mo was tho poor
way in which the farms wcro cultivat
ed and tho fondness of my tenants for
tho sea, many of them owning boats
well fitted out and goodly to look at
withal. 'Tho sea' Raid they 'yields as
we'd as tho land,' and they often
brought me fish and cockles, which
wcro well flavored and to bo desired.
"I had been used to sit up lato with
my books, but becoming a country
man, I thought it behooved mo lo go
to my bed early and riso betimes in tho
morning. Uy and by, however, I
went back to my former habit and sat
in tho library, which was in the right
wing nearest tho ocean, sometimes un
til far in tho morning. Joseph, the
old gardener, warned mo of robbing
myself of rest, and at last entreated
mo to retiro to bed boforo midnight.
'For,' ho said, 'to tell tbo truth, master,
this old place is haunted, and those
that stay up lato may see sights and
hear sounds that will freeze a man's
blood.'
"I smiled at his fears, but, as it turn
ed out, without judgment. This was
on January 1st, 17G0, and instead of
taking Joseph's counsel and retiring
early, I sat up lato with my books. I
judge it must have been on tho stroko
of 12 when I heard beneath mo a
strango and ominous rumbling, follow
ing whioh thero came a quivering of
the lloor, then, instanter, a prolonged
groan, as though it were behind my
chair I am no cow ard, and yet my
tlesh did creep and my muscles did
seem to shiver. Then I heard no
moic, but tho next night thero was the
samo noiso and shaking, followed by
many groans, and then a dreadful
shriek in tho air closo to thn window,
Tho shriek as uttered once and again,
and I went to tho window, opened the
shutters, and looked out. Tho moon
was bright and tho frosty air clear.
That I saw before something elso at
tracted my attention, namelv, a fiuuro
clad in white, three yards from tho
window, with gory streaks across tbo
chist and down tho left side. As I
gaztd, rooted to tbo spot, an awful
outcry, as of ajrony, eamo from tbo
spectre. Then a flash of light, and tho
figure was gone. I closed tbo shutters
and n tired to my bedroom, whero I
mused for sonio timo on tho spectacle
1 had beheld.
I was much in doubt as to ghostly
appearances, nevertheless, I bethought
mo of a discourse written by one Wen
ley, a clergyman of our church, in
which ho boldly expressed his belief
in the coming ol spirits trout the oilier
world. And so, musing, I enmo to tho
conclusion ibat Mich things might be,
and I hat bomo just end ('.hough un
known to mi') might bo intended by
tho vision 1 bad seen. For some nights
I retired to my room early. I5ut on
tho night of January L'Otb I sat up
reauing a troatiso on tho early church,
when midnight overtook me." I rose,
and had reached tho door,whcn 1 hoard
a groan. Turning suddenly, I saw a
figure clad in tho garments worn by a
Uaptaiu in His iMajcsty s navy, stand
ing beyond tho tablo I had just quitted.
After an instant I know it must bo my
brother, to whom I had succeeded in
tho estate. IIo was changed from
what I remoinbored somowhat, but
then six or seven years bad passed
sinco 1. beheld him alive. The lis""
raised its loft hand and pointed wnrd
tho door. Fully resolved i"c t0 'et

and tho linger, rising and falliim twice
or thrice, became steady and pointod
to tho door.
'"For the sako of my peaco of mind,
brother George, as well as for thy own
quietude,speak,and let mo know how 1

"Another groan followed, and tho
finger was thrust forward, as with ini.
patience.still directed toward tho door.
1 advanced a step, when tho left hand
eamo down with much violence on the
table, and thero was a flash of firo with
vapor. I kept my courage, though tho
candlestick well nigh leaped from my
hand at tho blow upon tho table.
When lho yapor had cleared away the
liguro was not to bo seen. Tho smell
as of sulphur filled tho room, so I de
parted to bvd.
"A day or two after Joseph said s
'You have nover visited tho winter
rooms in tho left wing. If it pleaso
you, 1 will show them to you,'
"I gave assent uud followed him. I
was muoh bui prised, ami greatly pleas

wall wcro jiicturcs, and a vast screen,
painted with many foreign davice?,
stood near tho fireplace.
Then Joseph led mo to a room ad
joining with padded furniture and a
bed heavily draped.
'"How is it that I havo nover seen

"Tho truth is,' Joseph said, 'they
weie not in fit condition until I and
my wifo set about cleansing them and

" 'And what is your design V

is cold and stormy, and tho bitter wind
and lho roaring of tho sea will not

" 'Good fellow,' said I, 'you aro very
kind. I will lake possession of them
at once.'
"After this I sat up often late, but
no more noises or spectres alarmed me,
and so the chango pleased mo vastly.
What books I needed I got from the
library by day, and to say sooth, I was
not tony to bo tut ol that place lor a
lime.
"About lho end of Match I had
come, in my reading, across a quota
tion from Thomas a'lvcmpis, which it
seemed to mc, was a falso one, and 1
was restless to verify or correct it.
The book was in tho library, and it
was on tho stroko of 1 1 ; nevertheless,
I resolved to take my light and go for
the volume.
"I had crossed the hall and was
turning into tho corridor which led to
tho library when a light Hashed at tho
door of that mysterious room. I step
ped back and withdrew under thestair
way. Presently I heard a footstep
and saw a light danciug and flickering
on its way from tho library. Then
there eamo from the corridor (and evi
dently from tho library) clad in the
garb of a Captain in IIin Majesty's
navy and bearing a lamp, the spectre
of my dead brother George.
"I was spellbound. Tho spectre
passed toward tho kitchen and vanish

recover my prcsenco of mind, a light
flickered in tho rear, and soon tho
spectre of my dead brother reappeared,
bearing tho light in ono hand and in
tho other an enormous beef pio 1 The
spectro went down and disappeared in
my library.
"This thing as I said boforo, set mo
a thinking. Did ghosts suffer hunger?
Did spectres eat beef pio t Did dis
embodied spirits need candles to sec
by?
"The next morning I sent Joseph on
an erranJ. When he ivas gone I went
to his pantry and searched it well.
Hidden away in aii old trunk I found
a bunch of largo keys. I went round
carefully by the front of tho house and
tried theso keys on tho door of tho
cellar. I found a key that fitted the
lock. Down ten steps and another
door, which none of tho keys would fit.
I felt over it and found that thero was
a grating a foot and a half square in
tho upper patt.
At midnight I went onco moro to
the cellar door and opened it. As I
did so I saw a light shining through
tho bars already described and I heard
voices, many and loud. I had no
fears, for I know they wero voioes of
this world, and moreover I plainly
smellcd tho wordly odors of gin and
tobacco."
"I peered in at the grating. Thirty
roughly clad men sat at a hugo table,
on which stood black flasks aud glasses
and candles burning dimly in the
nozzles of empty bottles. The mou
weio smoking, drinking and talking
loudly, and at tho head of the table,
dressed in tho garb ot a Captain in
His Majesty's navy, sat my dead broth
er, George.
"I was staggered and a cold shudder
past over rae. .Inst then my dead
brother Georgo thumped tho table
with his left hand, as ho had thumped
tho tablo in my library.
"Silence 1' bo cried in a gruff tone.
'I'm going to sing "Mollio Jones."
"I lost my presenco of mind, and
sorely distressed to seo such reckless
levity in a ghost (for tho old super
stition had onco more seized me), I put
my face closo to tho grating and cried:
" 'O, George, Georgo I how can you
bo so wicked ?"
"In an instant tho lights vanished
and thero was absolutely silence. I
hastily crept up tho steps, closed lho
door and locked it, and made all speed
to my apartments.
"As I lay in bed I had stiange
thoughts, nut ucloro 1 loll asleep 1 had
made up my mind what to do. After
breakfast next morning, I said to
Joseph :
"I'm going to visit tho cellar Jt '1'
hall, and I wisli you to company
mo.'
"IIo appeared thi'Jcrstruck. At
length ho iccoveri' his self-possession
and said :
"Master Herbert, you aro not strong,
and U "ollars havo not been oiiened
f,.--years. They aro not clean, and tho
odors may overpower you."
"If they aro not clean," I replied,
"let us know it as soon as possible and
have them purified."
"15ut I dont know whero tbo keys
are," said Joseph.
"Wo will hunt them up."
"I went into my bedroom and pro
duced the keys of tbo cellars. Josiph's
eyes utmost started from their sockets.
"Come," said I, "let us seo what wo
can do."
"Joseph offered no further objection
and followed mo in silence. Taking a
lamp I went fii st to tho cellar under
the right wing, for thero my interest
chiefly rested. Joseph was evidently
astonished at tho easo with which tho
door opened. On entering, thero stood
lho rough tablo .is I had Been it through
the grating. On it wero black flasks
and pipes and glares. Along tho
sides of tho cellars wero arranged
scores of small kegs, ovidently full,
packages of different merchandizo and
small bales of tobacco.
"What does all this moan t" I asked.
"It lookB as thouuh Cantain Geon?o
had used litis as a Htoro room," ho said.
"Did liocarouso hero with i s friends

"And so this is how it came about
that tho worst baud of smugglers that
ever infested tho Yorkshire coast wero
doteclcd, nnd that samo night, when
tlicy met iu tho cellar for carousal, cap
tured. "Tho mm who wore my dead broth
ers uniform was the head of tho band
aud Joseph's brother-in-law. From
tho stables was an underground way
to tho cctlar. and from tho cellar a
secret stair to tho library above. Fear
that my presenco lato at night might
lead to detection, induced tho smug
glers to play at gnosis. Tho groans,
closo behind me as I sat iu my chair,
eamo from behind tho wainscot. Tho
rumbling beneath was mado by rolling
tho kegs and barrels along the table.
Tho blazo of light in which ttio
spectres vanished was mado by snap
ping a pistol, tho pan of which was
filled with gunpowder and sulphur mix

ghosts in vanishing. My persistency
in using the library despite the unearth

Sergeant Francis Long of Uiooklvn,
a survivor of tho Grccly Arctic expe
dition, tells '.no following bear story,
which has hitherto been scaiccly men
tioned in lho accounts of Starvation
Camp. IIo says :
Bacon, shrimps and sealskin stew,
all in small quantities, had been our
faro for over two weeks, and thero was
not a full round of rations left. More
than half of tho men in camp wero in
capable of work, but that was littlo
matter, for thcio was no more to do
than three could handle. The steady
Cold mado us alt drowsy, and there
was tho worst danger in slcp. If a
man was allowed to have his sleep out
ho would cortaiuty never wake, so we
had to mako a rule that no ono should
sleep moro thau two hours at a time.
It began to look, with only ono day be
tween us and starvation, as if it might
bo better for us all to go to sloop to
gether and dio unconscious of tho terri
ble cold and pangs f hunger. We
had plenty of hunting, fishing and
cooking utensils, ammunition and all
that, but what good wero they ? There
was no name, no hsh. Dunn" all our
camp we caiiubt only two fish. I was
tho hunter of the party, and had tramp
ed tho region over and over, and rare
ly had tho luck to get a shot at any
thing. Tho day boforo we came to our last
round of rations I had discovered the
tracks of a bear. I had followed them
about until I was exhausted trying to
meet the beast, but Iliad utterly tailed.
On this day a light snow fell in the
morning, just enough to obscuro the
trail, but still I bunted. I cave it up
lato in tho afternoon and returned to
tho camp. IJrainerd had gono to tho
shrimping ground, and was absent
when I laid by my gun, buddenly bo
appeared runuing down Cemetery
liidgo as fast as his poor, weak legs
would bring him. Wo all started up
and waited his coming iu thu most
painful excitement. When ho reach
ed tho camp ho fell to the ground, all
out of breath. Tho men crawled to his
assistance and two of them raised his
head in their arms. IIo gasped and
looked at us wildly.
"Urainerd 1" exclaimed the Lieuten
ant, "what is it ?"
'Bear, bear 1" was all ho could ans
wer in a chokinc; whisper.
"Where, man, wherc?"I cried, reach
ing lor my gun, all trembling and
quivering with hope and fear.
"Thero ho said faintly, pointinc to
ward tho ridge ; " ho followed after me
lies coining."
How can I tell tho teriiblo excite
ment ttiat prevailed t Tho men were
in a perlect Irenzy. Cruel sultering
had made them worso than unreason
able. Some of them could think of
nothing but cursing poor Brainerd for
not killing tho bear, and wcro with
diluculty restrained from falling upon
him to wreak vengencc. Ho had not
taken his gun with him nobody ever
did who went shrimping and tlicy
cursed and raved at that, and burt in
to tears at tho los of their last chance
for life. The- Lieutenant used his
authority and I my influence to quiet

the bear if ho should continue toward
us.
Hardly had wo got a rod from tho
camp when a long white noso appeared
over an ice-covered rock at the top of
tho hill. Tho men set un a shout nnd
I think it unnerved me. I raised my
gun and fired. Tho ball missed, but it
did not go wido of its mark Tho bear
was Btartlcd. Ho paused just too
snori a uiiio to give me lisquimau a
chance at him. and turned tail and ran.
J heard tho howls and groans of dis
appointment and rago behind rae. I
beliovo that somo of thoso poor. half.
starved, half-frozen men would tiavo
shot nt mo in their anger if they had
had their guns at baud.
"Jan," I said hastily, "tako tho

mo laitiuul P-squtraau understood

ridgo as fast as I could and saw tho
boar a long way out of range still on
tho run. Ho turned round for a second
and looked back, nnd thon, as if satis
fied that ho was pursued, continued his
flight. I didn't go straight after him,
but, keeping out of his Bight as much
as possible, crawled and rau and slid
