Tile mystery orate origin was buried
`� with a pirate captain two centuries
ago,
About. the year'1725 two young peo-

deck there Slowly appeared an ap
preaching vessel; she was °agraceful;'
and her masts were tall. The captain'
of the emigrant ship gave orders to
slacken speed. Nearer and nearer -
drew the mysterious craft. A puff of
smoke ap eared. 4 cannon roared,
and a shot flashed across the ship's, ,
bow. The craft was a pirate.
The awe-stricken passengers stood
and watched while the pirate ship ]rove
to. A. boat dropped from her side, and
down a- rope ladder climbed the pirate
captain and his villainous crew. Un-
der powerful oars the boat shot across
the intervening space. The, captain
and the crew of the defenceless"vessel
were soon, in irons. The pirates pr'e-
pared to scuttle the ship. In the course
of his sinister work the pirate captain
came to' the stateroom of the mother.
Rudely entering, he heard the cry of, a
child. His countenance swiftly
changed. Thenbswiftly recovering his
composure, 'he inquired how old the
child was and whether it was a boy or
a girl.
"Have you given her a name?" he

The mother, trembling, said she had
not.
"Permit me to name her and promiee
to retain that name and I will release
your captain and crew and leave your
ship unharmed"
The woman quickly promised.
"I name her Ocean Mary," said the
pirate,
Then he left her cabin, released his
prisoners and ordered his men to the
heat. They rowed slowly back across
the water and went aboard the: ship,
Soon it disappeared over the horizon.
Three days passed—days filled with
thanlcsgtiing at the providential es-
cape. Ocean Mary became the object
of everyone's adoration. On the third
day the mast of the MUM" ship again
rose on the horizon. Again a cannon
boomed across the waters and aThoat
was lowered. This time the ,prate
captain cane aboard alone.
Under his arm he carried a packet.
To the captain he maid, "I now come
on a peaceful errand, Take me to the
cabin of Ocean Mary." Descending, he
entered and laid his parcel on the bed.
"I leave this gift for the child. It is j
a web of India silk for her trousseau i
when she marries. I bid'you farewell." i
He passed tlu ougli-a mute throng to
hie boat. A few minutes later a gun
boomed a parting salute, and not long f.
afterwards the pirate vessel vanished. •
Another month passed, and the emi- i
grant ship dropped anchor In Massa-
chusetts Bay. The young settlers fin-
ally made their home in Londonderry
New Hampshire. At the age of twenty
Ocena Mary married, and her wedding
dress was of India silk. - Mother of
many children, she lived to an ad-
vanced age. The wedding dress pass-
ed as a cherished heirloom from one
generation to another and was finally
divided and distributed among surviv-
ing heirs. One .large section is now
in possession of the Mack family of
Londonderry. I first heard the scorn
of Ocean Mary while seated before the
blazing hearth of the Mack home-
stead. My interest in it was rewarded.
