THE CHICAGO DAILY TRIBUNE: SUNDAY, AUGUST 17, 1873, B A GHOST. llow an Unbelicver Was Con- vincod. ¥ A Nost Wonderful Coinoidence. Somo yenra ngo,—shnll T confass to thirty, or even forty,—the nowupapors on both ‘sldes of tho Atlantle gave to thoir yeadors ono of the most startling and convinoing necounts of n vis- itation from the dand which modorn eara had heard. “Limo and placo,” and all the ciroum-~ atancos, did so oxactly cohore,” that Blopti- clsm found no place of rost for its cold hond, sud Faith roigned supremo. Having now no monus of nccows to tho journals of tho dny, T st givo tho outlinos of tho terriblo talo solely from niomory, which is, of course, much assistod by tho dlacunsions and speculations suggostod by inoidenta 8o strango and wondorful,—so won- glorful indeod that an apology for their ropro- duction seoms hardly necossary. Evory ono kuows that * THE DERMUDA or Somors Islands aro & cluster of about 300 small islands, fifteon or sixteen only of which aro of inhabitable sizo, situsted in the western part of tho Atlantic Ocoan, about 600 milos from Capo Iattorss, in North Gnrolina. Thelr namo is dorived from Bormudez, s Bpaniard, who uighted them in tho yoear 1627 : but thoy were firat sottled undor Admiral Bir. Goorge Somors, who was shipwreoked hero ju 1600, on hia,way to Virginia, The Inrgost of these islands i Bor- ‘muda propor, containing sn arca of about 20 squara miles, on which fs Hamilton, tho chiof town and sent of government. At tho time in quogtion, Iis Britannie Majeaty's ONE-HUNDRED-AND-EIGHTR REGIMENT of Faot waa quartered at damilton ; aud & more pleasant military station could hardly bo found auywhoro abroad. T'heso coral croatlons aro of wondrous besuty and fertility,—tho most de- licious frnits and flowerabeing found in abund- nuco, 88 well as osoulont roots of many kinds, to Any nothing of the far-famed arrow-root, which is horo, of oxcellont quality. Tho scs supplies flsl in great numbers and of fine flavor, while turtle onough are fakem daily to tempt 2 oplenroan Aldorman to lay down bia robe and chain, fleo the oity, and revel in a Paradise of calipnsh snd calipoe. Bocicty, too, thoughneces- sarily not largo, is composed of highly-sgroeablo *matorlal; and tho beauty of tho Bormudan ladics fa proverbial, . Among tho junior officors of the Ono-Hun- dred-and-Eighth was o LIEUT, TOMLYN, @ young gontloman of foriuno, but by no means richly gifted in other respocts. Although prompt ond active in those military dution which it s $tho pride of evory member of tha sorvice to por- Yorm with alacrity and precision, lio was alow to +join his brother-oflicors in the amusements and gaietios of the querter; and, without bolng ac- «fually moroso, ho was at least dull sud reserved mmid the flowing lularity which surrounded ‘him, Moroover, whea inclined to conversa- tion gt all, he seomed to-have but ono topio, and {hat was his unboliof in the ‘ox- istenco of tho Deity. To porsons educatod .from childhood, as his companious hud been, to ‘nccopt the Chusétian faith in all singlonees, it may rondily bo imagined that Tomlyn soon bo- camo n decided bore ; all wore aliko disgusted at beart witl the monotonous, and distasiefulness «of hig thema ; and, while the older members of tho mesu would gometimes kindly hint a chango of tho subject, tho juviors wonld not hositato to express thomsolves in candid condomnation or in pointed enrcasm, It g0 happened that THE YELLOW-FEVER made its appearance at this timo, and, though tho most excellont sauitary mrangements wero made by the military suthoritios, the soldiors did not onJrolv escapo tho scourgo. Tho virulonco of the fell disoase was, lhowavor, of compara~ tively short duration ; aud, onits_subsidence, & party of convalescont mon wus ordered to Hali- ax for chango of nir, that their full recovery might bo the more thoroughly ngsurod. Of this purty LIEUT, BARLEY wns put in commaud. Now, of all his regimontal companions, nong wore more utterly wearied of Tomlyn's uvnr]nsnug droning of hiw atupid plati- ndos than Harloy Vimself; aud o, ou tnking Jonye preporatory to his esiling in the brigantine yhich was to tratieport him and his men to the main-land, ho said : **good-by, Tomlyn; if any- thing should happen to me, lio nssured X BPIRIT WILL RETURN TO YOU, and lot you know whether you are right or wroug.” An incredulous smilo was almost the golo roply, Tho ombarkation was efected, nud the vousel, spreading lor white sails to the broozo, soon dlsnp‘mnmd from the Island. Tho day was followod by a_moonlit night of surpassing Leauty, and, the Destroying Angel baving now staid his band, tho night- air was freoly broathed and onjoyed after legving tho = mess-room, till ‘tho hour of rotiring. Young Harloy's parting words bud Dean referred to iu Tomlyn's imuedinto hearing during the evening's fostivity; indoed, ono of tho Jupior Captains Lad directly eaid: * By tho wiay, Tomlyn, what would you think if n disastor word to oceur to tho brigantine and Harloy's gpivit should como back #" ** Nothing loss than that,” gasid Tomlyn, with n cold wnile, wonld c;mviuc&me." Aud o the party soparated for the night. X Tomlyn ropaired to his barrack-room, and, nfter having locked his door, o8 was his cuatom, ot into bed. Whilo bo lay ‘‘courting tho almy,"—which, oddly cnougl, grow uncortain, coy,” and rofused to bo woaod, for ho Was uuu~ aunlly walioful and restless,—the door, to his utter nmazemeut snd consternntion,’ slowly oponed, snd, lo sud behold ! ENTERED HARLEY! hin faco of deathly pallor, his hair hanging in dark locks on his shouldors, Lia clothes dripping wator, Tomlyn recoiled nnd shivorad aa ho bo- hold tho frightfal apparition; but no words’ can describe his horror whon Iarley, with o look of glany solomnity in Lis oyo, in hin own voice, though that was now of decpest sepulchral tono, his right arm ulu\vl{ raised, tho Indox-fln- ser pointing upward, addreasod bim: * Doubt- inm thore s a God that judgoth the carth,” The shriok which Tomlyn uttored hud buroly ceascd when the locked door reoponed, and the figure, slowly rnliriuq, vanished from bis sight. All thoughts of slumber now flod poor Tomlyn, T'hat look |—that voicel What would he not L:nve givon for the power of obliterating from thought and memory tho blssphemous utter- nnces which, it was now cloar, '‘one had comeo 1rom the dend ™ to reprove. Tomlyn now oxhibited A MAIKED ONANGE, "o be wure, he substantinlly rolated the story of the appurition, and its stertling worda to hiy brother-oflicor, and ondeavored to enforee upon their doubting minds the voulity of his sad oxpe- rienco, with the most solomnt ausevorations; and_thencoforth grow more silent and gloomy day by dey.
