HAUNTED SHIPS
British Navy Possesses One or Two
Vessels Haunted by Ghosts.
It is somewhat snrprieing that nny-
al warfare 1194 produced no legend
of the "Angels of M1/11S" tyP0.
sailorman 11 still superstitious, and
the loss of a black eat is coneidered
a disastrous omen for the whole ship.
Even at the admiral's table the ac-
cidental ringing of a:tumbler is in-
stantly muffled, for the sound is sup-
posed to portend early death by
drowning.
However, the Navy possesses one
or two ships that are haunted, and
many 121011 serving in them are by no
means skeptical about their ghostly
shipmates. Strangely enough, ship
ghosts are rarely seen; they are gen-
erally heard or fett only, and there
is always an unpleasant occurrence
to give rile to spirit manifestations
on 'board.
111 one ship an officer who lost his
reason committed suicide tinder par-
ticularly tragic eireumstences, after
escaping from hie cabin on the half
deck. Within a few days the sentries
on title post began to complain that
someone eves dogging their footsteps
as they paced up' and down during
the night watches. They declafed
that they could feel a presence, but
on turning round could see no one.
Eventually the sentries had to be
gent on duty in pairs, as n solitary
sentry would sometimes desert his
post in terror. This ghost is prob-
ably Wee as the ship in question was
mink in the Demdanelles.
Another case is that of a haunted
cabin on board a more modern ship.
The owner was found to be missing
at 'sea and was presumed to have
been waehed emetheard by accident,
In due -course another officer was al-
lotted this cabin, One night the fiat
w as aroused by sheets; 41 crowd of
