Wm. HERLIHEY. REPAIRING Just Luck. William St. Lindsay When Capt. Black left the inn the old man followed him into the street and questioned him about the Labrador Coast. Before they parted he made the captain promise to take him to the Bay of the Dead the following spring. Captain Black had harbored there once during a storm. In the year 1830, In the year 1830 the capsain of one of these vessels happened to be in an inn in Halifax talking over his summer voyages, while smoking a pipe with a friend. They observed that an old man, sitting at a table near them sipp- ing his whisky and water slowly, appeared highly interested in tlmir conversation. Twenty years passed, a new generat- ion sprung up, and the story of Manning and his exploits was Well-nigh forgotten. Then, as now, trading vessels from Nova. Scotia frequented the coast to supply the scattered settle- ments with the necessaries of life, receiving in return furs and fish. At dawn the pirate Sentinels saw the manoof-war sailing through the western ipassage and heading for their retreat, Sail was quickly set, and the schooner escaped through the eastern outlet. The storm of the previous night still raged wild and fierce, the sea was lash- ed to fury, the waves ran high, striking the vessel with resistless force, throwing her on a sunken reef. With despairing shrieks and prayers to the God whose laws they had outraged, her wretched crew were launched into eternity. All were thought to have perished. With the assistance of the negro, he placed them in as many holes dug in the old burying ground of the Bay of the Dead. Having accomplisl‘ ed this, he suddenly sprang on the unfortunate negroand plunged a knife into his heart As the life blood slowly ebbed away, he twisted the limp iorm of his victim around the central cask. At this dread moment the old Scottish super- stitious nature asserted itself, and he believed that the “wraith” of the negro would keep guard over the treasure, preventing any adventrous outsider from unearthing it. He then heaped up the earth over tne five casks in the form of graves, judging that no French habitant, whose reverance for the dead is proverbial, would molest them, and at each apparent grave he placed a stone. to carry out the illusic-n. a. precipitate retreat to the island. That night another dread crime was added to the long list already commit- ed by the blood-thirsty wretch. Fear- ing discovery, and believing in the adage that dead men tell no tales, he changed his mind about the negro. He resolved to bury his treasure, and, under cover of a blinding storm, while the thunder rolled and the lightning cleft- the sky, he collected his ill-gotten gains into five small casks. , vâ€"â€"' -uav \‘LUDG to the north shore of the St. Lawrence and just outside the island behind which Manning and his crew lay in hiding. At that date a. packet was sent out annually by the British Government with the pay of the forces stationed in Canada on board. Mann- ing knew this only too well, and was on the lookout for the vessel. Unsus- picious of danger, she neared the island, when Manning with his ship darted, suddenly from his place of hiding and swooped down upon her. She fell an easy prey. Her unfortunate captain and crew were butchered, the treasure removed, the vessel scuttled, and no trace of the foul deed left. At Quebec the overdue ship was anxiously looked for, but hope died out at last and it was thought that she had succumbed to the fury of theAtlantic. The following year another packet was sent out and she shared the fate of her predecessor. The loss of two vessels and their crews in such a short time aroused suspicion, and a third was sent out, but with her a man-ofâ€"war. All went well till the vicinity of the Bay of the Dead was reached, when, the man- 3 ofâ€"war having fallen far astern, the I pirate schooner darted out, quickly ‘ captured the packet. secured the t treasure, and destroyed all the crew ( with one exception. This was a negro, whom Manning wished to keep for a servant. This man, hoping to propit- iate his captor, told him that the man- ofâ€"war was close behind him. This news so alarmed the pirate that he beat m nâ€"n vâ€"‘r-n-d The course taken then by vessels on their way to Quebec from Europe was through the Straits ‘of Belle Isle close _........ , mus; procamy she did not survxve her cruel treatment long. On the coast there is now a small small island which is easily mistaken ifor the mainland. Under the rugged and frowning cliffs overhanging the Bay of the Dead, so called because an old burying ground wasthere, Manning and his companions landed. Securely sheltered, they here perfected their plans for a. life of piracy and blood- shed ; and in truth no spot could be more admirably adapted for such a. conclave. pfobably she THE WATCHMALV, LINDSAY, THURSDAY George Sistare, a. New York banker, aged 50, shot himself Thursday in his room at the Manhattan club. The coal agents met in New York Thursday, and decided to make no ad- vance in prices for August. John W. Kems, one of the oldest drivers on the Grand Trunk, died Thurs- day in London. aged 62. A stone thrown by the explosion of a blast killed John Walton, aged 17, at Parry Sound Thursday. There were 21 deaths from the heat in Chicago Thursday and 24 people were prostrated. Several cases of sporadic cholera are re- ported to have appeared at Warsaw Russia. A sailing skifi capsized in Wednesday's storm 31: Wiarton and six lives were lost. Great numbers of cattle are dying from Texas fever in Oklahoma. There was a killing frost in Montana on Wednesday night. Dakota and Kansas are assured of Immense wheat crops. Over 20,000 men are now on the strike in New York city. There were 190 deaths in New York city Thursday. It cannot be asserted positively that the treasure of Manning has been torn from its hiding place and the spirit of the murdered negro released from its long and faithful vigil. But it is a sure and certain fact that a dwell- er under the cliffs of the Bay has of llate, without apparent effort, become very wealthy, and rumor hints of‘ treasuretrove. Such is the story of ‘ Manning as related by a native of that bleak and-desolate coast, and though the mellowing hand of time has thrown a halo of romance over the picturesque Bay of the Dead and the deeds done there, the main facts are well establish- ed. There are now many graves at the Bay of the Dead, and the good people of the coast, with their great respect for the dead, disturb them not to search for hidden treasure. Again, so late as 1880, a strange American vessel paid mysterious visits to the Bay, their object was and is a subject of endless conjecture among the fisherfolk. Again he was watched, and from the burial ground at the Bay of the Dead was seen to unearth a large wooden box or cask, which he carried with him. in that year (1860) a strange vessel flying the American flag sailed into the harbor of the Bay of the Dead. The coptain, whose name was Ricketts, hired a fishing boat, and while osten- sibly engaged in fishing operations, spent a great part of his time in explor- ing the shore and digging. After a month spent in this mysterious way he departed, returning, however, the followmg summer. overspread him and he had barely suffi- cient strength to order the crew to put about. The sailors. wondering atthe strange conduct of their captain, obeyed just in time to prevent striking on a sunken reef. Among the crew of Cap- tain Black’s vessel on this occasion was a lad of some thirteen years of age, Ricketts by name. The Captain had made rather a pet of this boy, and dur- ing the long v0yage had related to him the story of Manning. Thirty yeaas passed, and no further attempt was made to wrest the wealth from its ghostly keeper. In the year 1860 Ricketts, then in middle age and living in the United States, was a. married man. In dreams and in his working hours, the apparition of Manning follow- ed him, urging him to go to the Bay of the Dead and secure the treasure. Old inhabitants of the coast say that The weather being foggy, and the coast dangerous, he approached with the utmost caution. Within a few hundred yards of the gOal, the burying grounda strange faintnes came over him, his limbs refused to hear him. Eager to secure the treasure, which had from long brooding become his sole object in life, he with a great effort dragged himself to the bow of the ves- sel. At that moment the ominous words, “Death, death. death ! ” sound-h ed in his startled ears. A mortal tearl - ----_ “_.vr\.uuuuu, uuanUlV' ed.‘ The captain was too bold a man to be deterred from seeking the treas- ure by a. dying man’s curse, so he immediately set sail for the Bay of the Dead.
