Robert Dalo Owen, formerly member of Con gress and American Minister to Naples, has lately written a rather remarkable work, en- * titled + Footfalls on the Boundary of Another | World,” in which he attempts to solve the question whether travelers to the other world ever visit this. Under the head of ‘ Appear- unees,"’ commonly called apparitions, we find the following hitherto unpublished ghost story he regular orthodox flavor : THE RESCUE. Mr. Robert Bruce. orjginally descended from some branches of the Scottish family of that name, was born, in humble circumstances,about the close of the last century, at Torbay, in the south of England, and there bred up to a sea- faring life. When about thirty years of age, to wit. in the year 182%, he was first mate of a bark tra- ding between Liverpool and St. Johns, New Brudswick. Us one of her voyages bound westward, be- ing then some five or six weeks out, and having neared the eastern portion of the Banks of Newfoundland, the Captain and mate had been on deck at noon, taking an observation of the sun, after which they both descended to calcu- late their day's work. The cabin, a small one, was immediately at the stern of the vessel, and the short stairway descending t» it ran athwart-ships. Immedi- siely opposite to this stairway, just beyond a small square landing, was the mate’s state- room: and from that landing there were two doors, close to each other, the one opening aft into the cabin, the other, fronting the stairway, ints the state-room. The desk in the state- reom was in the forward part of it, close to the so that any one one sitting at it and look- ng over his shoulder could see into the cabin the mate, absorbed in hiscalculations, which did not result as he had expected, vary- :ng considerably from the dead-reckoning, had not noticed the captain's motions. When he bad completed his calculations, he called out, without looking round, «I make our latitude and longitude so and 40. Can that be right? How is yours ?"’ Receiving no reply, he repeated his question, lancing over his shoulder and perceiving, as © thought, the captain busy writing on his state. Still no answer. Thereupon he rose. und, as he fronted the cabin-door, the figure he had mistaken for the captain raised his head und disclosed to the astonished mate the features of an entire stranger. Bruce was no coward; but, as he met that fixed gaze looking directly at him in grave silence, and became assured that it was nu one whom he had ever seen before, it was too much for him; and, instead of stopping to question the seeming intruder, he =a SP upon deck in such evident alarm that it instantly attracted tae captain's attention. + Why, Mr. Bruce,”’ enid the latter, “what in the world is the ma ter with you?” The matter, sir? desk ?”’ «+ No one that I know of.” “But there rs, sir; there’s a stranger there.” A stranger! Why, man, you must be fou must have seen the steward there, or the second mate. Who cise would venture down without orders ?"’ ~ But, sir, he was sitting in your arm-chair, fronting the door, writing on your slate. Then he looked up full in my face; und if ever I saw aman plainly and distinctly in this world, I saw him.”* “Him! Whom?" tod knows, sir; I don't. T saw a man, and man I had never seen in my life before.” ‘You must be going crazy.

Go down at once, and ex fool of yourselt before the crew.”” * T hope you've always found me w Hing to do wha mnable,”" Bruce replied. chang- ing enlo f I the same to i ft rath The captain deseend and the mate followed him They examined the stat te be found! * Well. Mr. Bruce,” said the eaptai net [ tell you you had been dreaming ?”” It's all very well to say so, sir; but if I didn’t see that man writing on your slate, may I never see my home and family again!" * Ah! writing on the slate! “ Then it should be there still.” And the eaptain took it up. “By God!’ he exclaimed, “ here's some- thing, sure enough! Is that your writing, Mr. Bruce ?"* The mate took the slate, and there, in plain, legible characters, stood the words “StzeRr To THE Nor’ West!” «Have you been trifling with me, sir?’’ add- ed the captain, in a stern manner. “On my word asa man and as a sailor, sir,”’ replied Bruce, «I know no more of this matter than youdo. I have told you the truth.”’ The captain sat down at his desk, the slate before him, in deep thought. At last, turning the slate over and pushing it toward Bruce, lie said, «Write down, “Steer to the nor’ west.’ ”” The mate complied, and the captain, after narrowly cowparing the two handwritings, said, “Mr. Bruce, go and tell the second mate to come down here.”” Hie came, and, at the captain’s request, he also wrote the same words. So did tne ste ard. So, in succession, did every man of the crew whocould write at all. But not one of the various hands resembled in any degree, the mysterious writing. When the crew retired the captain sat deep in thought. ~Could any one have been stowed away?" at last he said. ‘The ship must be ecarched; and if I don’t find the fellowhe must be « good hand at hide-and-seek. Order up all lauds.” Every nook and corner of the vessel, from stem to stern, was thoroughly searched, and that with all the eagerness of excited curiosi- ty--for the report had gone out that a stranger had shown himself on board; but not a living soul beyond the crew and of rs was found. Returning to the cabin atier their fruitless tearch, *-Mr. Bruce.”* said the captain, ‘what the devil do you make ofall this?” “Can't tell, sir. I saw the man write; you see the writing. There must be something in Vv ~Well, it would seem so. We have the wind frec. and I have a great mind to keep her away and see what will come out of it.”” “I surely would, sir, if I were in your place. It’s only a few hours lost, at the norst.”’ Well, we'll see. Go on deck and give the course nor’west. And, Mr. Bruce,” he added, as the mate rose to go, “have a look-out aloft. and let it be a band you can depend on.” His orders were ubeyed. About three o'clock the lookout reported an iceberg nearly ahead, and, shortly after, what he thought was a ves- sel of some kind close to it. ~ As they approached, the captain's glese dis- closed the fact that it was ismantled ship, apparently frozen to the ice, and with a good meuny human beings on it. Shortly after they hove to, and sent out the boats to the relief of the sufferers. It proved to be a vessel from Quebec. bound to Liverpool, with passengers on board. She had got entangled in the ice, and finally froze fast, and several weeks in a most critical situation. She was stove, her decks swept—in fact, a mere wreck; all her provis- isns and almost all her water gone. Her crew und passengers had lost all hopes of being saved; and their gratitude for the unexpec‘ed reseue was proportionately great. Asone of the men who bad been brought away in the third boat that had reached the wreck was ascending the ship’s side, the mate, catnbing = sieupee at his face, started back in col It was the very face hé had iy in the eabin!

At first he tried to persuade himself it might be fancy; but the more he examined the man the more sure he became that he was right. Not only the face, but the Person and the dress exactly corresponded. As soon as the exhausted crew and famished passengers were cared for, and the bark on her course again, the mate called the captain aside “It seems that was nota ghost I saw to-day, ; the man’s alive.” What do you mean? _ © Why, sir, one of the passengers we have just saved isthe same man I saw writing on your slate at noon. I would swear to it ina court of justice.’ » Upon my word, Mr. Bruce,’ replied the captain, ‘this gets more and more singular. Let us go and see this man.”” They found him in conversation with the captain of the rescued ship. They both came forward, and expressed, in the warmest terms, their gratitude for deliverance from a horrible fate—slow-coming death by exposure and star- vation. The captain replied that he had but done what he was certain they would have done for him under the same circumstances, and asked the: 2 both to step down into the cabin. Then, turning to the passenger he said, “I hepe, sir, you will not think I am trifting with you; but I would be much obliged to you if you would write a few words on this slate.” He handed him the slate, with that side up on which the mysterious writing was not. “L will do anyt ing you ask,’’ replied the passenger; a what shall I write?” ‘ ew words are all I want. Suppose you write, ‘Steer to the nor’west.’ ” ulead The passenger, evidently puzzled to make out the motive for such a request, complied, with asmile. The captain tak the slate and examined it closely; then, stepping aside so as to conceal the slate from the passenger, he turned it over, and gave it to him again, with the other side up. *You say that is [need not say ing atit, *‘for you “And this?”’ slate over. The man looked first at one writing, then at the other, quite confounded. At last, “What is the meaning of this’’’ said he. “I only wrote one of these. Who wrote the other?” “That's more than I can tell you, sir. My mate here says you wrote it, sitting at this desk, at noon to-day.” The captain of the wreck and the passenger looked at each other, exchangi 1 d ing glances of intelligence and surprise; and the former asked the latter, “-D acne id you dream that you wrote on 13 siate! “No, sir; not that I remember.”” “You speak of dreaming,” said the captain of the bark, ** What was this gentleman about at noon to-day?’’ “Captain,’’ rejoined the other, “the whole cory is most mysterious and extraordinary, and I had intended to speak to you about it as Soon as we gota little quict. This gentleman (pointing to the passenger) being much ex- hansted, fell into a heavy sleep, or what seemed such, some time before noon. After an hour or more he awoke and suid to me, ‘Captain,we shall be relieved this very day.” When I asked him what reason he had for saying so, he re- lied that he had dreamed that he was on oard a hark, and that she was coming to our rescue. He described her appearance and ri and to our utter astonishment, when your ve: sel hove in sight she corresponded exactly to his description of her. We had not put much faith in what he said; yet still we hoped there might be something in it, for drowning men, you know, will catch at atraws. As it has turned out. I cannot doubt that it was all ar- ranged, in some incomprehensible way, by an rruling Providence, so that we ht be Yo Mim be all thanks for his goodness Who's alive ’* your handwriting?”’ said he. so,”’ rejoined the other, look- saw mne write it.’” said the captain, turning the «There is not a doubt,” rejoined the other captain, ‘that the writing ou the slate, let it have come there as it may, saved all your lives. -I was steering at the time considerably south of west, and [ altered my course to nor’- west, and [had a lookout aloft to see what would come of it. But yon say,” he added. turning to the passenger, “that youdid not dream of writing on a slate?” ‘ T have no recollection whatever of doing so. I got the impression that the bark I saw in my dream was coming to rescue u but Low that impression came I cannot teil. There is another very strange thing about it,”” he added. ‘ Everything here on board seems to me quite familiar; yet I am very sure I was never in your vessel before. It is all a puzzle tome. What did your mate see?’ Thereupon Mr. Bruce related to them all the circumstances above detailed. The conclusion they finally arrived at was, that it was a spe- cinl interposition of Providence to save them from what seemed a hopeless fate. The above narrative was communicated to me by Captain J. S. Clarke, of the schooner Julia Hallock,* who had it directly from Mr Bruce himself. They sailed together for sev- enteen months in the years 1836 and ‘37; so that Captain Clarke had the stery from the mate about eight years after the occurrence. He has since lost sight of him, and does not know whether he is yet alive. All he has heard of him since they were shipmates is, that he continued to trade to New Brunswick, that he became the master of the brig Comet, and that she was lost. I asked Captain Clarke if he knew Bruce well, and what sort of a man he was? “As truthful and straightforward a man,”’ he replied, ‘‘as ever I met in all my life: We were as intimate as brothers; and two men can’t be together, shut up for seventeen months in the same ship, without getting to know whether they can trust one another's word or not. He always spoke of the circumstance in terms of reverence, as of an incident that seemed to bring him nearer to God and to another world I'd stake my life upon it that he told me no lie.”” ~ * In July, 1-59. The Julia Hallock was then lying at the foot of Rutgers Slip, New York. She trades between New York und St Jago, in the island of Cuba. The captain allowed me to use his name, and to refer to him as evidence for the truth of what is here set down. + woe PRESIDENTIAL ASPIRANTS Vs. JoHN BRowN — Gov.
