iion lo much talk in Salem; but instead o!
'laving lite effect intended, a fatal obstinacy
became prevalent, and prevented everv one
ho proposed lo sail wiih, the vessel irom
laying the slightest attention lo ihem
l itis strange infatuation only served to
leepen the interest which ike lowu took in

Al lust the day appointed for her sailing
arrived. Never had such a solemn day been
icen at Salem; and nioreovsr, il happened
10 bu a I'ridayjfor the captain was not sucl

-rally were iu llione days. A great multL

town clock, and by its weight pushed il for

me who witnessed ihis sight was struck
'J
ith liorror.and some laid hands upon theii
relations to prevent them from embarking.
Hut those who had engaged to go with the
fatal vessel, wero wilful, and would not be
oniroiled.
During tiieiso struggles, the two unknown
strangers came also to cmbaik.and she that
is the bride was in tears, weeping bilterly

In the course of the night ihe breeze

who beheld her that it was tho Noah's
Diuier
Uy :his time the twilight was inucli fade
but it began to be observed that ihe shir
brightened, as if some supernatural ligh
shone upon her alone. This wonderful
circumstance was not long matter of doubt
or question; for, when the stars appeared
she was seen as distinctly as if she had
been there in tho blaze of noonday, and
panic af dread and terror fell upon the
whole multitude.
Thu Kev. Zebedee Stebben, who was
then in the crowd, an acute man, and one
who feared ihe Lord, knew thai the appar

iiid that it behooved all present lo pray for
protection against Ihem; he therefore
nouuted upon a large stone, and called on
he spectators to join him in Ine lGih Psalm
which he himself began, repeating the line
oud.nnd then singing. The shores echoed
with tho solemn melody, and ihe rising wind
wafted it along the increasing waves.
While Ihe worship was going on, the
sound of sudden cries and lamentatinns, a
f persons in jeopardy, was heard in the
lit, the ship al the same linio came straight
into on the harbor,and being illuminated a
described, was seen rigged out in every pari
xaclly like the Noah's Dove. Many ol
the spectators saw their friends on board,

other, but no noise was heard on board. Al
dial moment ihe masts and rigging Tell into
the sea as if they had been slruek down
with lightning, and signals of distress were
displayed, bill still no sound was heard.
The multitude suspended their breathing
convinced that the vision before ihem was
ihe unsubstantial creation of the pretigioii'
spirits. This belief entered all their -ninde
simultaneously, and in the same momeni
ihn mighty spectre vanished.
Hie Noah's Dove was never heard ol
and il was believed that, in ihul hour, river
by the lightning and tho tempest, slio hud
foundered.
