' AVe nrvr knew Ills real name. Ev
eryone calli-d lilm dipt. Oi-orse; and
Capt. GeorRp he lvmained, from the lirst
day he entered Luniltmrt harbor until
the nlRht I parted from him In Ply
mouth Hound, ubotit four years later.
His arrival at I-amlport was announced
In the Northern Post and Shipping ISa
zette in this manner:
"Landport, Sunday. Steam Yacht
Wanderer arrived from Stockton, with
machinery damaged. Owner,- Captain
Ocorge."
. What was he. like? Well. If you had
put the question to the gentry of the
place some would have answered it
with t shrug of the shoulders, as much
as. to say they couldn't well make him
out; others would have told you he
svetned a haughty, reserved, stand-off
sort of man. If you had asked any of
(lie young ladies, you woiid very likely
hear that he was "charming." but tllilt
yhey believed 'him to be a pirate chief
in disguise, or some nonsense of thai
kind. Among us divers lie was looked
upon as a bold, gallant sailor, who
loved the sea, and everything connect
ed with it, a man we all udmired and
looked up to.
He frequently put into Landport after
that at odd times, summer and winter
but came round regularly every June.
He never made friends In the place, and
few acquaintances. People still held
pretty much the same opinion concern
ing him. On different occasions, as he
passed along by the sea wall, I have
seen more than one lovely head turned
to take a sly look at his tall figure, and
heard the whisper:
"There's that strange man, Capt.
George i isn't he handsome?"
Towards the end of August I was en
gaged with Uvo other divers to remove
t argo from the steamer Magellan, which
had run on an outlying reef about twen
miles down the coast. The surveyor
of the Landport Salvage association,
Capt. Lorton, was In charge of the
wreck, and had orders to make a push
to get her cleared out while the weath
er in Id line. We put up at a neighbor
ing village, a place called St. Nevin. a
pretty little spot hidden away at the
top of a small landlocked bay.
on the third morning it was blowing
rather fresh. Willie I was waiting In
the Utile parlor of the Mariner's Kes".,
the. only thing in the shape of a hotel
of which St. Neviu could boast Capt.
Lortoa came in. He went up to the
barometer un the wall, tapped it, and
ald:
"Glass falling; this breeze will fresh
en during the day, and most likely run
lip to a gale before night. If It does,
there won't be much of the Magellan
Kft by morning, Lawreneeson. At any
late it would be t' risky to venture
out wilth the wind rising in this way."
About twelve o'clock I noticed a con
siderable stir amongst the fishermen on
the beach. Looking seaward, 1 saw a
large stenm yacht entering the bay. I
recognized her at once. It was the
Wanderer.
Capt. George came on shore during
the afternoon, and looked in to the
Mariner's Hest. It seemed he had
heard of the wreck, and was anxious
to visit the scene of the disaster.
"It's blowing hard outside," he said,
"and very thick, too. I saw the fishing
bouts running in for Wldmouth this
"There's Thut Strange .Man."
mornlnjt. n sure sign of dirty weather
at sea. We're In for a stiff sou'wfster,
I fancy, and I shouldn't be surprised If
It brought down the rain before even
ing." He was right. As the wind Increased
n thick mist crept up from the sea, and
presently a sudden squall drove a tor
rent of rain against the window. There
was just six of us present; myself, the
two other divers, Moxly and Williams,
('apt. Lorton, Capt.. George and Capt.
Llnklater, a retired, master mariner
Who lived In St. Nevln.
We had a cozy lire In the room, for
the we.nther was unusually cold, and
eat around It spinning yarns. The hent
Inside and the cold without, had
dulled the glass of the window, so that
It almost looked as If It had been muffed
We ctnilt hear the crash of the billows
on it he bench below, followed by a deep
rumble, like distant thunder, as the
backward rush of of t'he water tore the
loose shingle fnm the beach.
"If well you won't be at sea tonight,
Capt. George," I remarked, in a pause
of the conversation.
"I'm half sorry to miss It," he re
turned, (renting up aoid approaching
the Window. He cleared a space on the
glass, and stood looking out over the
bay. "There's nothing I like better
than driving full speed through a gale,"
(he want on, "provided I have a good
ea boat under me, and no fear of a
dnngeroun coast lying under my lee."
"Ay, there's worse danger at sea it I inn
storms," put In Capt. IJnklater.
"I'm Inclined to agree with you
there," Bald Capt. Lorton. "When I had
f'omniand of a North Atlantic boit, I'd
rather have faced a three-day pile
Ithan lie walled up for ten hours in a
fog. A gale of wind Is a straightfor
ward, honest kimd of thing; you can den
at a glance how matters stand, and
know where the langer lies. Hut
Heaven defend me from a fog! I ol
ways felt like a child out In a strange
Vlaee on a dark night, groping my way
ulong and never knowing at wliitt mo
ment I might bump up against some
obstruction!"
"There's worse dangers than fogs,"
returned the old captain, blinking his
eyes at the fire, smoking very hard.
"Icebergs?"
"Worse stilt:" .
"IVrellets?" . ,
"Worse."
"What then?"
"Kocks." ....
"Hocks!" exclaimed the surveyor.
"Why you have it hem plainly marked
on your chart, and know exactly where
to expert them."
"Ay, but when they are not marked
on your chart, and you come across
them where you don't expect them,"
the other replied In a rather mysterious
manner.
1 noticed that Capt. George had
turned from the window, and was lis
tening attentively to the conversation.
"I should like to know where such a
rock exists?" said Captain Lorton, in a
way thai showed plainly he hud very
little faith In anything of the kind.
"Well, I'll tell you," returned the old
skipper, knocking the ashes out of his
pipe, and laying It on the mantel-shelf.
"I t exists In the broad Atlantic out in
mid-oeean--somewhere between the
Azores and the coast of Nova Scotia."
"A pretty wide range, that," remarked
Capt. Lorton.
"Yen, but a dangerous one."
Llnluter stood up , turned his tack to
the lire, and seemed striving to recall
some half-forgotten facts. Kvery eye
was fixed upon his weather-beaten face;
we av he had a strange story to tell.
"It Is a well-known fact," he began,
"that every year three or four vessels
sometimes more disappear in ,the
Atlantic, and their fate has always re
mained a mystery. As far back as 18;M,
the President sailed from Liverpool, in
charge of one of the most skillful navi
gators of the day, Capt. Huberts, the
man who commanded the Sirlus,
the first rteainer that crossed
the Atlantic. She foundered In
mid-ocean with all hands. In
1 846 the Savannah, an American sail
ing ship, left New Orleans for Bristol.
illi
Wc Saw He Ilud a Strange Story to Tell,
She was sighted off 1he Hahamas, but
from that day to this nothing more was
heard of her. In 1SS0 the Southern
Cross disappeared in the same manner.
A few years later an emigrant steamer
the Nomad, I think went down with
eight hundrer souls, and the muse of
the disaster was never known. Between
1MW and 1S7U, no less than eighteen ves
sels disappeared in the same myster
ious way. Coming down to a later date
we have the Crusader the old Crusader
I mean, the Cleptic, the White Slave,
the Ontario, an American liner, and a
host of others. In lsi) we have the
Krin, of the National line, the Italian
bark Silvio, which sailed from Holy
head In January of that year and was
subsequently spoken in the North At
lantic, the Thaiiemore. a British steam
er, and the Itoman Empire, a splendid
iron ship which wan p:ised on the 11th
of June by a homeward bound vess-1,
and reported 'all well.' Hut, perhaps
the strangi Ft case of all was that of the
German ship, the Maria Klckmers,
about which there has been so much
talk lately In the shipping world."
"I remember hearing of her," said
Capt. I.niton. "She was a live-masted
bark, 1 think, and Kald to be the largest
sailing ship ulloat."
"Well, this magnificent vessel, fully
manned, and In charge of experienced
oflic. sailed from Saigon for Bremen
on tlie l."ith of 'July, IVili. It was only
h.-r second voyage, mind you. She was
sighted In the Atlantic, about three
hundred miles west of the Azores, and
the total disappearance of such u ship,
In comparatively line weather. Is one of
Die most remarkable of these ocean
mysteries. Kroin all those vessels, not
one Soul escaped to tell of the disaster,
and save in one or two instances, not
even u boat or life buoy belonging to
them was picked up. How did they
disappear? You will say they foun
dered In u gale; possibly some of them
might have done so, but not all. How
do you account for the fact that doze 'is
of other vessels crossed the Atlantic in
safety at the very same time, often
without encountering unusually bad
weather?"
"It seems strange, certainly," re
marked Moxly.
"It Jut comes to 'this," continued the
skipper, In a lather excited way, for he
was now thoroughly warmed Into the
sebject. "It Just comes to this: An un
known danger lay In the path of those
Vessels or mme of them, at any rate
ttv'y came upon it suddenly, pel haps in
the dead of night when they were least
prepared, Bind the result was an appall
ing disaster "
"Hut I don't see how all this proves
the existence of a mld-Atlantlc rock,"
said Capt. Lorton.
"Walt a minute; I'm coming to that
presently," replied Llnklater. "In '7t I
was bound from Pensacohi, In Florida,
to Falmouth, with a cargo of grain.
My vessel the bark St. Kllda, of Suth
erlandafterwards wrecked, you may
rcmember.off Cape Hatteras was what
you might cull a clipper, though a good,
safe bout In a heavy sea. Her qualities
were well tested on that voyage, at any
rate; wo came In for one of the stiff est
gales I ever encountered In the Atlan
tic. After trying to hold her on her
course for some horn's, I had to give It
up as a bad Job. and let her drive. We
ran away before the wind for the best
part of two days In a nor'westerly di
rection. ,
"When the gale slackened a bit, I
gol the vessel round, and commenci'd to
beat back to our former course. It was
Htlll blowing freh enough, the sen
running high, and the clouds showing
signs of more wind, so we had to be
sparing with our canvas. One night.
Just as I was about to go below and
turn In, the man In the bows suddenly
sung out:

" 'Breakers ahead!'
"My first Impression was that the fel
low had got hold of a rum cask, and
had been Imbibing very freely. I took
no notice of t'he warning, but as 1 stood
there, the man turned and shouted in
more startling tones:
" 'Breakers ahead, sir!"
"Now, if he had mid: 'The sea-serpent
ahead' or 'a mermaid ahead,' I
mightn't have been so surprised, but
'bieakers ahead' in mid-ocean, mind
you fairly took my breath away. I
rushed forward. As I stood In the
bows, peering out over the tossing wa
ters, 1 could distinctly hear the roar of
breakers somewhere In front.
"The moon was showing out through
the broken clouds, and just then I
caught sight of a dark spot straight
ahead, round which the water swirled
and tussrd. 1 had barely time to hol
loa out: 'Hard H-poit!'to the helms
men in order to clear It. Without any
mistake it was a. rock. I could see its
black top appear for a second or two,
and then it was covered In a cloud of
foam. Sometimes a big wave swept
right over it, but generally they
smashed with a roar that I can tell you
would have struck . jterror to your
heart."
