“The island: itself is fighting for self
preservation. It seems as if it drew
ships into ite fatal embrace as rallying
points for its loose and shifting sand, .
thus to protect itself by,a bulwark of
wrecks against antihilation by the sea.
Tradition says that when Sable island
was discovergs by: Cabot in’ 1447 it was
80 miles long and 10 miles wide: . In
1802, when.a rescue station was established there, it was only 40 miles long.

width it Is only a mile at its widest.
Within 28 years the western end lost
seven miles. Shoals over which ‘the
ocean now*surges are pointed out as
former sites of lighthouses. One of
these was so swiftly undermined by
the sea that it had to be abandoned
with the greatest precipitation. The
spot where once stood the superintendent’s house is now under two fathoms
of water. im
“The island, rapidly diminishing at
its western’ end, is slightly gaining at

dramatic. There is good ground for
believing that this gray sand bar will
slowly wear away it becomes another submerged sh ded to an ambuscade already some. 60 miles in
length, for a line of breakers extenda
16 miles from one end of the island and
‘. 28 miles from the other.
“In the space of a single year Sable
island. claimed: more than 200 lives. In
fact, so many wrecks line the shoals
of this ocean graveyard that the new

in one ditch. The Crofton Hall, an iron
sailing ship wrecked a few years
onthe northeast bar, broke in two

upon an old submerged. wreck and is
settling over it, which accounts for the
two parts coming together. Nor is the
island satisfied with the awful tribute.
which it exacts from the living. The
gamé informant who writes me about
the Crofton Hall adds that the bark
John McLeod, which was wrecked off
Devil’s island at the entrance to’ Hallfax harbor, drifted ashore on Sable island bottom up, a wreck of a wreck!
“One of the grimmest legends of Sablé island dates from the wreck of the
Amelia, and there is enough evidence
of truth connectéd with it to show
what bloody deeds were added on that
occasion to the terrors of shipwreck.
Captain Torrens, who commanded the
gunboat which was dispatched to Sable
island after the wreck of the Amelia,
was one of the survivors of the second
disaster. A passenger on the lost transport was Lady Copeland, on her way
to join her husband. The captain of
the gunboat, had been told that. she
wore on her forefinger a ring of pecuifar artifice.
“The story has it that Captain Torrens, wandering over the island’ one
was attracted by the piteous whining
of his.dog in front of a small, open
shelter known to. have existed at that
time,‘ but long since toppled to pieces.
Approaching the shelter, he was startled to see the figure of a woman all in
white and holding toward him the
bleeding stump of a forefinger. While
he was . gazing at the apparition it rose,
silently glided past him and dived into }
the sea. But time and again wera . apts

__» he Grenade Throwers,
The grenadiers, the senior of British
regiments. which compose the brigade
of guards, got its name from the fact
that toward the end of the eighteenth
century the men were armed with
hand» grenades to throw among the
enemy. They had to be in the front
of the fighting line; hence they gained
a reputation for bravery and the name
of the “grenadiers.” The badge of the
regiment is still a hand grenade spouting flames, though that dead\y e
of war has long since been superseded.

Many stories, mostly fabrications,
have been told about long, diffuse telegraphic messages sent by women, as it
the feminine mind were incapable of
éxpressing itaelf concisely.
How ‘false and slanderous such an
fmpression {!s is well shown by an fncident reported by a contemporary: A
gentleman went to Paris on businéss:
As he went away he said something to
bis wife about buying her a new dress.“
Just before starting homeward he tele.
graphed to his wife, “Which sball }
bring you, 4 @iamond ring or @ silt
dress?”
The reply was concise and explicit—
one word, “Both.”
