R. Elwell, of the S. S, Harmonides, which discharged sugar here this week, when a Lascar member of his crew became suddenly "possessed with the devil" and to all appear- ances was stricken dead on the ship's deck. Accompanied by murmured chants of a venerable holy man, the shrieks from the devil-possessed seaman and the fear-laden mutterings of the followers of Allah, who com- "clearing the Lascar's soul of the evil spirit" was permeated with the weirdness of the mysterious east, surpassing the strangest sights the skiper has seen in thirty year of handling Mohammedan crews, "I have seen strange things in connection with the beliefs of the natives of India," Captain Elwell said, "but this casting out the devil beats all. Their fakirs, snake charm- ers and mango growers are futile and insignificant compared with the en possession of by His Satanic Ma- jesty." Tells Weird Story Captain Elwell, in his own words, related the weird occurrence as fol- lows : "We were proceeding west. It was midnight. The third officer call- ed me, saying there was a man dead in the forcastle, at least the natives said so, but he thought he was still alive. I went aft to see the man and they told me he was in the fo'- castle. I told them to bring him out on deck; six of them did so and laid him on the hatch. He was perfectly rigid, not a move out' of him; I thought it was a fit. "All the native crew were there, jabbering excitedly in their native tongue; all talking at once. The third officer and I had a look at the Medical Guide on the subject of 'fits' but could make nothing out of it. The man, however, came round in about half an hour, but he had been transformed from a man into a devil. He struck out right and left when anyone went pear him but when left alone assumed the posture of a Buddah, arms and legs crossed, They all said the devil was in him and from all appear- ances he had a evil with a ven- geance. Became Violent "At eight o'clock next morning he was still there, never having moved or spoken since 2 a.m. Several thmes they had tried to move him, but he flew at them so violently they had to give it up, The Seacunning (na- tive quartermaster) told me the devil had gotten into him, and that he would be no better until he was taken out, "At ten a.m. the Chief Officer approached him and attempted to talk to him softly and tried to move him, but he flew at the Chief Offi- cer singing some weird tune. So the Chiet Officer came to me and advised me that the man should be locked up. I went after him and had a look at him and thought it would be a bit of job to get him shifted, without using force, I beck- oned to him, however, and said: 'Come on with me, Jimmy,' and to our surprise he immediately jumped wp and followed me along the deck, to a spare room in the alleyway, went in quietly, and resumed his Buddah attitude on the settee. went down several times later to have a look at him; there he sat, staring at the wall, not a move out of him. One of the crew looked in at the door but he made at him, causing the native to beat such a hasty retreat as to make one think that 'the devil was after him.' "It turned out from the'story the crew gave that this man had turned out at 11.30 pm. preparatory to go- ing on watch at midnight, and the devil came out of the wheelbarrow and followed him into the lavatory where they fought, the devil getting the best of the matter, and enter- ing into possession of h That was the gist of the story. At rate, the man was found lying s on the deck outside the lavatory door. Ihave not the slightest doubt but that the man t! t it all true and was frightened stiff. Nothing would convince the crew but that ritual and experience of being tak- | | than he went in. | 'Possessed Sea Captain Tells Story | Of Mohammedan Ritual man, and intended to stay there un- til forcibly ejected.

I said 'go ahead. "He then explained that it would be necessary to have him in the fo'- | castle for the ceremony. The sea- cunny stepped into the room, but 'Buddah' flew at him so viciously that he came out of the room faster 1 beckoned to the One' again, saying, "Comee on, Jimmie! He jumped up at once and followed me down into the fo'castle without looking to the | right or to the left and sat down in the middle of the deck in the same attitude "Now it began to get interesting The padre put on clean clothes, red loin cloth and fancy cap. He open- ed his sea chest and rammaging through it took out a lot of articles, including two different kinds of powder--black and yellow--tore out some white cotton and wool, putting the powder onto it, along with some rice and Bhall, a native split pea, or lentil, Tried Drastic Methods "In the meantime they got five Lascars down to pinion the man as they explained that the devil would fight pretty hard, which from prior events I quite agreed, and which I might say, he did, Next, in came the Bhandary (native cook) with a shovelfull of red hot coals. I was a little bit alarmed at that, but thought I had better not interfere with their ceremony until I saw a real cause. "So they drew a chalk line around the man, The idea is that the devil cannot get outside the chalk line at them, but would have to fly straight "The fo'castle door was now shut to keep the other members of the crqw out. Inside were the man pos- sesed, Padre Lascar Seacunny Ser- any Chief Officer and myself; also five men who had been brought in to secure the Possessed One. "The padre gave the word and the five men pounced on him. Then the rough and tumble started; the devil had the best of it for awhile, at one time having two of them be- neath, "Eventually, they got the upper hand of him, however, and lashed his hands together then his feet, then lashed all four together and had him trussd up like a fowl and put him inside the chalk mark. The Jadie questioned him as to where e met the devil and how he fought him, and strange to say, the man answered all questions although he: had not spoken a word from the time he had been picked up off the 1 | deck the previous night. 'He said he saw the devil come out of the wheelhouse and follow him into the lavatory where they fought; much the same story as he told before. It took the padre about five minutes to get the information relief from CHRONIC BRONCHITIS from him. In the meantime the fire was burning on the shovel and all seemed to be in order. "The padre and Seacunny get around the fire and put the white cotton and other ingredients onto it, the smoke curled up through with a brimstone smell about it. I'hey were now after the devil 'hot foot!

I thought that it was another fit but they ex- ¢ aimed, 'Abi Accha', meaning 'now hie is alright.' | "In about five minutes he sat up {and they gave him a drink of water after which he got on his feet, smil- ed, salaamed the chief officer and myself. All the crew were around now and when the man got on his feet they walked, off to their dif- ferent jobs with happy counten- ances. The man had a bath and changed his clothes, "Half an hour later he was in the galley again, all smiles, with a plate of rice and curry in his hand. The next day he could not return to work; complaining that he had 'too many pains all over him," which I could well understand, for he had been through a few rough and tumbles since the devil had got hold of him. But the following day he was at work as if nothing had hap- pened. COURTICE NEWS (Mrs. W. R. B.

It gives every- y one chance if such a chance can be reasonably extended. You are getting your chance now. "Some of you particularly I do not think are greatly to blame," said the Magistrate. "You desired to help out another man to whom you felt yourselves to be under an obligation. "Some of you, when you found yourselves mixed up in a deal which was not honest, got out of it. If you keep up these same attempts to remain honest, and at once separ- ate yourselves from any attempt to break the law, you will not have much trouble." .

Detective Sergeant Flintoff gave evidence to the effect that while bringing the accused to the Police Station he had asked him "how did you come to get mixed up in this affair," the reply being that "Mr, McDonald had asked him to go down." Paul Kliment, Frank Zowski and Peter Cerka were also called by the Crown Attorney and gave evi- | ing ties over the fence with Donald." | The accused called Eddie Mc- | Nonald to give evidence for the de- fence, McDonald stating, "I was the { man that threw the ties over the nce. Brown did not do it." The Magistrate--"You have heard | all these witnesses say that they caw Brown helping you? One of | these ties takes two men to handle | does it not? Were you throwing them over the fence?" | Eddie McDonald--"They weigh about 150 Ibs. I tipped one end up and threw them over. Brown did nothing. He i$ a married man with five children and taking this into consideration T would not let him help. = Several of the neighbors have had these ties and I thought I was as much entitled to them as they were." Under cross-examination by Mr McGibbon, McDonald stated "I can carry one of these hundred and fifty pound ties for fifty feet, and put it on my own shoulder, "Fired Two Shots" "I want to say something else too," said McDonald."

Before placing Brown on sus- pended sentence, and in discussin the case with Mr, McGibbon Magis- trate Creighton stated, "I am a little puzzled about Brown. He is more involved than the other men but not so much as McDonald." "He is not altogether in the same class as the foreigners, perhaps," was the Crown Attorney's com- ment, "but Brown did not profit. He is also a married man with a wife and five children." In addressing the accused the Magistrate stated © "possibly you also felt under an obligation to McDonald but you 'must have known you were engaged in an un- lawful act.
