But let ue premise that it is no offspring of the present writer’s imagination. Whether the anecdote be in itself absolutely true, or an exaggerated account of a singular and somewhat startling occurrence, we cannot pre- tend to determine; but we can undertake to say that no doubt was entertained on the sub- | j-ct by cotemporary writers, and ‘that it hes been treated as an established fact by Tieck of Spain on the south- the German poet. If you open the ma ern shore of the Bay oF Bieck » between Astu- tias and Old Castile, you will find the San- tander not far distant from Santillana, the birth place of our old friend Gil Blas ; and in close proximity to Santander, you will see the name of Lierganes. This is a place of no particular interest, except what it derives trom its connection with the following nurra- tive The surrounding scenery is mountain- cus, and the landscape stretched down through ic‘uresque valleys to the sea. Here, two Eondiea years ago, lived a poor but honest couple named Francisco de lu Vega and Ma- ria his wife, together with therr four sons, Thomas—who was already a priest—Jozeph, 0 and Juan. Francisco, named after his father, was bora erful predilection for the water. Even in early yout he was constantly either bath- ing or angling in the river that flows through the district. The same year that ushered young Francisco into the world eaw the last of his male progenitor, so that the task of main- taining Ler family mainly rested with Maria; and her son's indolence was the source of con- stant grief to the poor woman. In vain did she exert herself to send him to school; the good for nothing fellow was constantly seen during study hours either swimming or loiter- ing about his favorite stream. At length poor Maria lost all patience with her child, and in a moment of frenzy she cursed him, —— him betake himself altogether to the sea, ani get his living there, as he was of no use on earth. Now, a mother’s curse is a fearful thing anywhere; but among southern nations more especially there is a superstitious feel- tim on to fulfil hisown doom But whatever influence his mother’s words may subsequent- ly have exercised on his fate, Franci - mained quietly at home until he had a di the age of fifteen, when he was sent to Bilbao, tolearn the handicraft of acarpenter. This | and bas always enjoyed a high reputation for he excellence of its sword and steel manufac- ture As might have been anticipated, the young apprentice showed no greater love of work at Bilbao than he had previously displayed un- | der the maternal roof He was constantly | wasting his time in the river, neglecting his duties, and consequently causing great dissat- isfaction to his master. In this manner he continued to live for a couple of years, until one afternoon he went out with some compan- ions to bathe. It wason mid-summer day, A.D 1674, saya the chroniclers, when this event ccurred. After enjoying the luxury of a somewhat prolonged bath, his companions came on shore and dressed themselves, and were rather surprised not to see Francisco among their number. They waited a considerable time for their missing comrade, and at lesgth returned to the town, leaving his clothes on the bank where he had deposited them The unusual absence of his apprentice now began to alarm the honest mechanic, who caused inquiries to be instituted regarding him; but all tnat could be gathered was that he had been swimming down the river at a great distance of Bilboa, and as nothing further wae heard of the un- fortunate youth, the natural inference was that he had either become exhausted, or had been seized with cramp. and go had fallen a victim to his passion for the water. | The carpenter tock the earliest opportunity of informing poor Maria of the probable fate of berson,; and the good folks her neighbo:s shook their heads, and said that the mother’s curve had been fulfliel Maria dela Ve ia ber utiliction, now denied that she had e made v the dreadful words ascribed to her, and some of her friends corroborated the | statement. Be this as it muy, the honest wo- man gradually recovered from the shock she had sustained ; and convinced of Francisco's death, people ceased to talk about it, and ali recollection of the wayward boy was rapidly fading away. 2 . Five years had elapsed, when a singular oc- currence happened on the opposite cost of Spain ne morning, in the year 1679, *ome fishermen from Cadiz were pursuing their usual avocations, and had already cast their nets, when they perceived a strange object in the distance The figure moved, appeared on the surface. then dived under water, where it remained for aconsiderable period In ap- pearance it strongly resembled a human be ing; and the boatmen pulled further out to sea in order to take a more minute survey of their new acquaintance, and, if possible, to catch him; but as he did not appear again, they returned to shore at their usual hour. Having mentioned their adventure over night, they were accompanied next morming by sev- eral of their acquaintances, all anxious to bave a look at this strange being In this they wore not disappointed, for it soon showed iteelf in the water—now approaching, now re- treating—then plunging underneath, then re- appearing ; and after going through a variety of these gambols, as if in pastime, it finally vanished from view. When the fishermen again returned with this news, the public cu- riosity was raised to its highest pitch, and all sorts of means were devised in order to catch | the monster. At length it was unanimously | | agreed that larger and stouter nets should be taken out, and that other boats, steali | across the bay from the opposite side, shoul endeavor to drive the animalintothem Al- ready the water ghost, as it called, formed the main subject of conversation in the sur- rounding coustry, and the authorities were natually anxious to solve, if possible, the mystery On the third day it made its ap pearance again, and remained longer than usual on the surface. The fishermen now threw pieces of bread into the sea, which it rapidly caught hold of and devoured with op- parent relish; for on flinging other slices overboard, the monster gradually approached nearer and nearer, until it finally came #° close to one boat as to get suddenly entangled and caught in the net. led The men. delighted at the success, hau 1 | ; ir great can sell the boats at very low prices.

They ad- dressed him, first of all, in the ‘koapente ak the country, then in French, Italian and ail other dialects; but the wild man did not re- ply a single sound; appeared not to com re- hend in the slightest degree what was said to him; and altogether bore on bis face the er- pression of perfect imbecility. A pious monk bow bethinking himself that he was possib! esseesed of au evil spirit, set to work with the custo yf solemnities for driving out dev- ils ; but all the boly friar’s efforte proved un- availing, and did not seem to produce the slightest impression upon this stupid being. In this manner he continued to live for some dys in the convent, fed and clothed by the benevolent Franciscans He was y harmless; allowed them to do whatever they leased with him; but nothing he saw or eard caused in him the least apparent inter- eet. Various men of rank visited the convent in order to see him; but they could find no clue to his identity—where be came from, or what he had been. . ra After the first excitement bad somewhat subsided, he one day suddenly pronounced, in a distinct tone of voice, the name of Lier- ganes. This word he repeated several times, but no one present knew what he desired to intimate by it, as the little town, obscurely situated in a remote district of the kingdom, was perfectly unknown to the good monks. Kecollect the country was Spain, and the cen- tury the seventeenth, and you will not be sar- prised at this want of geographical knowledge on the part of the holy brotherhood. But it 20 chanced that a young workmas in Cadiz hearing every one talking about this ‘ange being, and the unintelligible expres- n he had made use of, informed his com- Pinions that he himself came from a place Called Lierganes, and thatit was a small town in the vorth of Spain, not far from Santillana People, and their he monks athe place, Ww examines | This news produced a great effect; and the wise men now began to conjecture, that as their guest had used only one word, and this word the name of a village, the probability was that he was born there. They thereupou wrote to the Secretary of the Inquisition, him- Self a native of Lierganes, giving him all the particulars of the affair. This gentleman im- mediately interested himself in the business - and as he happened to know something of the family of Maria de la Vega, and had heard of the mysterious disappearance of her son Fran- cisco, he wrote to the widow and her children, to ask them whether, during the last five years, they have received any tidings of their missing relative. They replied in the neg- ative, and that every one, both at Lie: and Bilbao, considered that he was drowned ; for that, on the occasion of his last bat! in the river, after having been seen swi: down the stream, all traces of him hed van- ished, and his clothes alone remained on the 8 hore. ‘The Secretary, Don Domingo, reported this | intelligence tothe monks of the convent at Cadiz, with whom he found the man-fish had now been staying for some considerable period . After the lapse of several months, a friar, also belonging to the Franciscan order, arrived one day atthe convent. This friar, Juan Rosende by name, had just returned from a pilgrimage to Jerusalem. and soon made acquaintance with the apperent idiot, whom he took under his especial charge.
