We hadnot yet discharg- ed all our cargo when a fearful odor. became plain, and when the last b-.`.`rrel and box went out we traced the source and ripped off ome of the ooring. Between two of the ribs we found the decaying corpse of a ship -carpenter, `whose skull had been smas ed in by a blow from a hammer. . The ghastly thing was taken `ashore and_ an inquest held. There were initials on the cloth- ing, and a true description was taken, and no one doubted that a" murder had been committed. On the run back to Liverpool there was no ghost. The nding of the body_ had laid it. The case was placed. in the hands of the % police, and you may remember what 1 happened. . The name of the murdered man was John Walpole, and a fellow workman named Charles Saunders was arrested tor the crime. He confessed `at once. As the two had knocked 01! for luncheon they `fell into a dispute abouta woman, and, driven to des- peration by tauntsot` the other, Saun- ders seized his hammer and gave him a fatal blow. As the two were alone in the bows" of the ship, then about ready for launching. he shoved the body over against a rib and nailed on ooring enough to cover it. Walpole was miss- ed by the foreman, but was upposed i to have gone off on a spree. That was the confession, and it brought about Saunders death on the gallows, and no ghost was ever seenaboard otthe Fri- day afterward. You won't believe that we saw` a ghost. but as thediscovery of the remains oi` the murdered man and the hanging of Saunders were mat- ters ot public record, you can't very , well get around them.

For- tunately a. reduction in the price of this fuelvhas been intimated, and al- ready prospects for the current half- year are distinctly brighter. Rail-' way managers are hopeful. but at the same time it is impossible to say` what is going to happen in the Scotch coal trade in the near future. It is in a, very unsatisfactory posi- tion, and ii a ten days or. fortnight- ly policy is followed out by the men, or if a strike takes place in conse- quenceoi the masters resisting this proposal, the output of coal will be restricted and prices will be main- tained to the great detriment of legitimate trade. In view-, however. of what is taking place in England. where in the Midlands-there is a. heavy decline in prices, it is hoped that the. Scottish miners will do no- thing to bring about a `dislocation -.01 trade.
